[4eyes] FW: Help bring 3D capture to the world

[Saiph Savage]

Thanks Matthew! this dataset they mention looks really useful:

"over 200,000 locations all over the world, which has provided us the
world's largest collection of 3D RGBD images (with corresponding camera
poses)--over 200 million individual images with 6 DoF pose."



Sorry does anyone know if it is public? I was not able on a quick search to
find much about it. Thanks
