Virtual reality time travel

Back in 2003 I took several hundred pictures of my apartment, covering every corner of it from multiple angles.  I figured that within a decade, it would be possible to use software tools to reconstruct the whole place in 3D.  As it turns out they're of the way there already:

This service requires 5-15 photos of an object to reconstruct it in 3D, and probably can't handle shiny surfaces very well.  However, it's progress.
