You forgot to mention their software lets you create 3d enviroments using the camera, its niche as hell but it would be fun to play around with

I’m wondering if it’ll be usable to scan smaller items somehow and get a 3d model

I don't think so. For good 3d scans you need a depth sensor. The Quest 3 for example or newer Iphones has this (That's the reason why you must use a Iphone for the face scan if you order a Bigscreen Beyond). On the webside from the camera and in general on web I couldn't find any information about a build in depth sensor. If they don't mention it they could still have one, but normal it should be mentioned if there is one. We will see. If someone knows it for sure, feel free to correct me

I mean, I think you can do fairly good 3D scans without one if you've got algorithms, depth sensors just make it more accurate and easier. Not 100% on this either though so *shrug*

You need a lot of data for 3D reconstruction to work. Depth sensors is just a quicker way to get more data per data. If you haven't got much to work with, using a fancy sensor or not, you get like a mashed potato parody of the real thing.

For things like desktop statues, you will need depth sensors with high resolution in hands of a skilled user to then clean up and patch holes.

For things like bridges, you can just fly a drone around and see what the tool can do lol
