> Could I use GS to render my living room as a digital playground to train my vision models in? Yes, its what the autonomous car people are doing. However you might want to do photogrammetry first (https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom opensource) as that produces a mesh which you can use to detect collisions easier. The downside is that transparent objects render really badly. but it is a lot faster to render

Looks like they're still on it, but there was some progress on it in november 2019, and it looks like it works, although not the default yet, not even at compile-time: https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/595#issuecomm... I very much second this, as I hate relying on proprietary software of any sort for stuff that's essential, has a steep learning curve, or that I am going to use on a regular basis (plus other criteria). GPU drivers match the first and last point.

You have been able to do this for a long time. Photogrammetry apps with a good, automated drone pipeline: https://www.dronedeploy.com/ https://www.pix4d.com/ Generic photogrammetry: https://www.capturingreality.com/ https://www.agisoft.com/ https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom I don't really understand what's unique about this patent, Structure from Motion has been around for ages, from video too. Maybe they have some optimisation around the processing, which traditionally is quite compute intensive
