This company http://geotango.com/products/silvereye.htm/ has a product that can generate 3D models and measurements from a single satellite image as long as the original sensor metadata is available.
Adaptive Path is not a web design company. They provide user experience (information architecture, interaction design, etc) expertise and help people plan sites. The implementation is almost always done by someone else.
Garret is a user experience guru - He's writing about this framework from the perspective of a user advocate, not a developer or a designer.
The point of his article is that the user experience is improved with Ajax. He's not trying to sell you a new car, he's suggesting that end users (customers) will be better server with this approach in many cases.
But maybe you want to continue to write huge java applets or flash sites that take 30+ seconds to load. Don't expect to feed your family though.
