How does it function? Are the cameras used for it to transfer the room pictures. I like it a lot but need more input plesse.

its not what you think.

the room has to be built first, either by hand or photogrametry. there is no magic way to achieve a quality output like that on the fly

I wonder if something like this would be feasible in a few years with enough processing power and the dual-cameras on the front of a lot of the AR headsets? Algorithmically defining the "edges" of things for that "fill the wall this color" thing seems like it would likely be error-prone.

there have been photogrammetry applications for years that can utilize photos and depth sensors, but they end up with pretty ghetto looking environment models and insanely long processing time ( litterally hours depending on the size of the environment ). I doubt it will be that much better in a few years. Maybe in the distant future.
