So it'll get the bathroom floor, the ceiling above my bed and the inside of a car/train. You could get more from just posing as a delivery man and knocking on my door.-Dragmire- said:

Edito: Scratch that, plumber would work better.
I almost missed this news, and it is interesting for me since it hits close to home because I only live a few miles away from Crane.
My mom use to work there and my dad still does. I always found it odd that a major US naval center was placed near the middle of the country.

Sounds cool.
Make it open source, let the good times of infinite lulz begin.
It would be Back Orifice all over again, in glorious 3D. You wouldn't believe the transparency granted from random citizens and corporations. Scientology freaks, pedophiles, ISPs... they were all up for grabs, and it was splendid comedy, drama and horror all rolled into one. That was some splendid fun. The most activity for seemingly coordinated amateur spying we could trace came from Turkey, other Arab states and China. Guess they just couldn't resist some free remote administratin'.

In all seriousness - imagine this app as a friendly little helper in the hands of an officer in the field - instant 3D maps of any location. Something like the little scanners in Prometheus.jetriot said:
I think that would be genuinely awesome.
I don't have a smart phone, nor am I paying for online service...
But even if they DID get my camera on my phone to work, I don't really care as all they'd get is photos of my ceiling or inside my pants. And if they want photos of the inside of my pant pockets that badly, they can have them.

I don't think this kind of software would manage to do much with my phone. If the phone isn't in my pocket it's laying with the camera face down on my night stand. I'm sure they'll get great pictures during the 3 seconds it's in mid air and pointed at my wall 6 inches away though.
There are precisely two locations they would glean from my phone. My pocket and my bedroom, and if they don't take fairly frequent photos they'll probably only get the back of my TV, my door, and some of my bed. Congratulations, you now know - oh wait s*** my planner is on the back of my door.
Thank God I never write anything on it.
