"Our Town" Drone Traffic Stop, Merging 3D and Video, a Photosynth example

Notionally demonstrates why 3D and video are going to be merging in the near future, using iPad and Parrot's AR.Drone.

The video is pretty simple.  A car runs through a stop sign.  A police car stops the suspect car, and decides to surveil it using a drone.  The drone sends a video feed back to the officers.  The "notional" part is simply that, in the future, that video feed can be converted to a 3D representation.  Photosynth does this today for stills, creating a 3D point cloud from 2D photos.
