This is like a smart camera that can quickly sketch a simple 3D box model of a room (walls, floor, ceiling) from an image, so design tools can understand the space shape without a human painstakingly tracing every edge.
Architects, interior designers, and real-estate professionals waste time manually recreating room geometry from photos or scans. This method automatically infers a 3D room layout from visual input using a compact, high-level representation, drastically speeding up how spaces are digitized for planning, design, and visualization.
The defensibility would come from accuracy and robustness of the room-layout estimator (trained models and labeled datasets), integration into popular CAD/BIM/3D visualization workflows, and potential proprietary datasets of real interiors that improve performance over generic academic benchmarks.

High (Custom Models/Infra)
Training data acquisition and annotation for diverse room types and occlusions; potential latency and accuracy trade-offs when scaling to large building portfolios or embedding into real-time AR applications.
Early Majority
Focuses on a compact, high-level representation of room geometry to enable fast 3D layout estimation, which is particularly suited for real-time or near-real-time applications (e.g., interactive design tools, mobile scanning, AR) compared with heavier, full-scene reconstruction pipelines.
