I've been interested in generating reasonably accurate 3D models of NYC subway stations for awhile. It always bothered me that routing stops the second you descend into the station. If anything, that is where you need it most because some of the stations are confusing and the signage varies in helpfulness. Visitors often do not even know what side of the platform to stand on.

I went so far as to purchase a Project Tango[1] tablet several years back. I was trying to automate some of the mapping work using SLAM[2] but did not get very far before real life took over. I would be very interested in picking this project back up, especially with the recent developments in AR/VR. If you are interested in helping out, please reach out. Email is in my profile.
