One thing I would love for the Quest to be able to do would be to create a 3D model of my home’s interior and let me do things like knock down walls or place furniture.
There’s no technical reason it can’t do this except that nobody’s done it because it’s been pitched as a collaboration/NFT selling tool.
I’m glad they’ve at least thought of it, but I’m amazed they didn’t think this was a killer app for VR. Just the real estate market alone would have been huge.

I think you can sort of do that with Hyperscape?

So apparently facebook is funding research into that, still: https://facebookresearch.github.io/ShapeR/
Who knows what they’ll actually do with the tech.
