3D object recovery from video imagery is a ubiquitous problem within the $20B 3D graphics industry, where 250,000 3D content authoring professionals require dramatic efficiency improvements. Geometrix recently introduced the world's first commercial system for generating 3D models from video imagery, and is well positioned to rapidly introduce a new generation of products which take advantage of the Phase II results well before Phase II conclusion. Geometrix's current markets of movie special effects, game development, and on-line electronic commerce catalogs will be expanded to include military/flight simulation, urban planning, architectural engineering/surveying, and travel/real-estate marketing via the proposed effort.
