Others might think this is just the beginning.

Aside from the fact that "real" 3D cannot be gotten from a flat display (stereography is possible), it looks like a great way to take a locked-off shot in a movie and add an jiggling earthquake effect.
I'll take their word that the new technique gives slightly better results than the current state of the art.
