Thoughts:
It would be interesting to know how much it would cost a firm to purchase licenses and train staff to competently use this software? How long would it take before firms could save/make money by using this software? I wonder if any firms in Perth currently use this software? PhotoModeler shows great potential but is not well known. This is probably because it is a relatively new technology that is still having the kinks ironed out of it. Perhaps if students start learning about new technologies such as this at uni they can take the knowledge into the working world. When they graduate they can teach older architects of the possibilities of technology. This suggest that there will be a time delay before this technology has any affect on the architectural world.
This image show the potential of Photomodeler for creating 3d models of existing buildings. This project uses the software as a surveying tool. This sought of use of the software could be useful when renovating or building additions to existing buildings. It could possibly save heaps of time normally spent measuring the existing building. Photomodeler could also be used to create 3d images of historical buildings which need to be well documented.
