This is really impressive, and I can see it being useful for a lot of people - the GoPro crowd, and people selling uncommon things on eBay or Etsy come to mind.

If you didn't bother to read the "learn more":

When in the viewer, press C to see the 3D interpretation of individual shots and M for a map of the path taken by the camera.

Also very impressed here. However, it appears to have a huge limitation over the previous implementation: You can only move in a linear fashion though the scene. Gone is the ability to jump around in a 3D environment. At least from the first handful of examples I looked at.

Does anyone see an environment in this new version that still allows freedom of movement?

It is impressive. But, I have to wonder: what does this get you above-and-beyond taking a short video of an object, and then allowing the view to "scrub" back and forth within the video?
