Another Tech Still To Become Really New Media

Here's another example of an intriguing technical capability. It has yet to reach the level of really new media because no one yet know quite what to do with it. But, hey! Just the details...
Matterport is a means by which you can capture 3D environments for later use and manipulation. Now, why I'd want to do that with my office, home, kitchen, etc., I'm not sure. Nor why I'd want to inflict it on others!
But, like my earlier post about Bing Maps and AR, before, this demonstrates not only an intriguing capability yet to be anchored into a compelling use. It also demonstrates the high degree to which the thinking behind media still lags behind technical developments, instead of taking place with them.
