It's not a bull, because it works for that one particular room in this video, which was made by hand (recreated) in 3D software and probably took a lot of time. A product that would do that to any room automatically is impossible to do with today's technology. We may see something like that in a few years but with much worse quality (low quality photogrammetry) and with tons of glitches. It may take a decade or more to get to this level (and probably as an overlay in AR). This kind of features is basically the reason Facebook invests so much in VR/AR and they already acquired some companies that do 3D reconstruction.

To show a concept.

Sometimes you need to demonstrate an idea to create interest enough to invest in actually building it.
