That is correct.

Sometime in the future, consumers will have software that can turn 2D images into simulated 3D [0]. It's still in dev mode right now, though.

Yeah, and there are some other in-dev camera rigs that use multiple cameras plus software interpolation to simulate 3d as well.

The thing that's most intriguing to me are the experiments using multiple depth cameras set up around a space and using software to build a live, 3d model and overlay the video data as a texture on top of the models. It's all very rudimentary and low-res at the moment but it's the sort of thing that can eventually become 3d/VR telepresence and that just strikes me as awesome.

That video is extremely impressive! Colour me excited
