When I look at the NYC scene in the highest quality on desktop, I'm surprised by how low-quality ex. the stuff on the counter and shelves is. So then I load the lego model, and see that's _very_ detailed, so it doesn't seem inherent to the method.
Is it a consequence of input photo quality, or something else?
The effect is a bit spooky. I felt like a ghost going through walls.
The mirror on the wall of the bathroom in the Berlin location looks through to the kitchen in the next room. I guess the depth gauging algorithm uses parallax, and mirrors confuse it, seeming like windows. The kitchen has a blob of blurriness as the rear of the mirror intrudes into kitchen, but you can see through the blurriness to either room. The effect is a bit spooky.

My one note is that it look a really long time to load all the images - the scene wouldn't render until all ~40 initial images loaded. Would it be possible to start partially rendering as the images arrive, or do you need to wait for all of them before you can do the first big render?
Take for instance the fulllivingroom demo. (I prefer fps mode.)
1) How many images are input?
2) How long does it take to compute these models?
3) How long does it take to prepare these models for this browser, with all levels, etc?
4) Have you tried this in VR yet?

The refigerator in the NYC scene has a very slick specular lighting effect based on the angle you're viewing it from, and if you go "into" the fridge you can see it's actually generating a whole 3d scene with blurry grey and white colors that turn out to precisely mimic the effects of the light from the windows bouncing off the metal, and you can look "out" from the fridge into the rest of the room. Same as the full-…
A girl is eating her morning cereal. Suddenly she looks apprehensively at the fridge. Camera dollies towards the appliance and seamlessly penetrates the reflective surface, revealing a deep hidden space that exactly matches the reflection. At the dark end of the tunnel, something stirs... A wildly grinning man takes a step forward and screams.
