A little bit off topic, but related: are there any tools to which you can feed a few photos of a room from various angles and it will generate a floorplan or 3d model like this?

[troymc]

Yes, in fact at least one of them got funding from YC: Matterport.

There are many others: Kuula, Cupix, iStaging, EyeSpy360... Real estate companies use them a lot, e.g. to create a virtual tour for prospective buyers.

Yes but they don't just use a random set of photos. They take multiple 360 photos for the specific purpose of feeding them into their virtual tour app. That's why you can pan around.

lumalabs dot ai is pretty neat. Takes videos as input but works very well.
