And their "future work" is also very interesting:

"We’re currently working with the Australian Centre for Visual Technologies on a version of an Augmented Reality version of Videotrace that you can use while walking around. The idea is that you’d use a camera as a modelling tool. You would then walk around a city, modelling it as you go. Good progress is being made towards this goal, with a prototype system in the making."

And the technology is being commercialized already:

One would expect that 3D modeling will take you straight to 3D printing but I haven't been able to find anything about that in their website...
