Jon Barron on 3D Value for Manufacturing and Construction

Jon Barron, Principal Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, wrote in a reply that 3D holds special importance for engineering, manufacturing, and construction. He said the 3D model functions as the final deliverable in these domains rather than an intermediate step. Barron added that 3D vision's main contribution in such settings is enabling the use of abundant 2D data. The post forms part 5 of a longer thread and makes no comparison to video models.
