Question for the entrepreneurs: how would one monetize such a cool algorithm? I come across plenty of cool stuff like this, but without any idea how they can solve real problems.

This tech, as is, is suitable for one to make models of most of their household furniture as well as the rooms of their house. Possible applications: 1) Virtual home makeover, 2) child's "play/doll house" is their own home (virtual or 3D printed)... and on and on and on... Note that this system does not handle irregular, organic shapes (people, plants), so those need a different solution.
Software for use with 3d printers. Modeling stuff for printing is really hard right now, definitely a big barrier.
