I agree with your idea that those who find those streamlined workflows will have an advantage. Are we close to the point where you say, " I am looking at the Eiffel Tower" and then some software just goes out to the web, finds every and all pictures of the Eiffel Tower and sticks them on the mesh or point cloud? I think so. The word 're-useable point clouds' comes to mind and I can't help but think that more imaging in industrial environments is a necessary step to greater competitiveness. Keep up the good work. Gene,

The word ‘re-useable point clouds’ comes to mind and I can’t help but think that more imaging in industrial environments is a necessary step to greater competitiveness.

Keep up the good work.
