Hey Ben, Faster, cheaper, and more robust 3D modeling for the movie industry. The modeling allows different sources of video content to be extracted from scenes, manipulated and mixed with others.
The movie industry has the money and motivation to extract data from images. Making it easier, more robust and cheaper could drive innovation and progress. Why is it AGI-related? Because AGI requires knowledge. Knowledge can be extracted from facts about the world. Facts can be extracted from images in a general way using a limited set of algorithms and concepts. Some say that computer vision is AI-complete and requires knowledge to do. But, I have to disagree. Given sufficient data and good images from multiple cameras or devices, unambiguous data can extract very accurate 3D models. If this was "AI-completed" and required knowledge, that would not be possible.
