Wonder Dynamics now lets you go straight from multi-camera video to fully animated 3D scene | TechCrunch
Briefly

Impressively, you can use multiple cameras to shoot the same scene, as you might normally with human actors, and the video-to-3D flow will place them in the same scene as virtual cameras following the original motion by estimating foot travel and other metrics. Again, helpful for early in the process when camera work is being roughed out - not something you want to decide on shoot day!
The idea is that you can shoot and edit your video in your living room, with desired performances, cut, and camera framings as you would want to see in your animation," said Wonder Dynamics co-founder Nikola Todorovic. "This process would provide you with a quick previs and, most importantly, 3D scenes to edit each individual element in either Blender, Maya or Unreal.
Animation is labor intensive, and location shooting is difficult and expensive - if you can film two friends walking down the hall and convert it to robots walking down a futuristic street, that's super useful for previsualization, story flow, and other early stages of production.
To be clear, as with all the company's previous features, this is not intended to provide a finished product - just a base layer to build on.
