@paul_rietschka @alienelf This reminds me there was once a company that took the multi-view geometry stuff from Hartley and Zisserman and built a product that could track camera motion and use that to link a CGI model. Previously that required a lot of manual work, or being really strict about movement.

@paul_rietschka @alienelf Actually, I think it was a conversation I overheard between professors at NeurIPS where they were both in awe about the financial success but also making fun of how boring the work was (from a scientific perspective). Ah, good old times.
