Watching the apple show last night, what struck me about the facial mapping 
feature, was that it appears to be quite similar to " point cloud mapping"

There are apps and iPad/iPhone addons that allow an can create 3D digital 
scans. such as structure sensor.  
https://structure.io/use/3d-scanning

and trimensional
http://www.trimensional.com

I can imagine that if other  future apps can make use of this inbuilt scanning 
hardware, photographs can be taken that will capture the scene in 3D such that 
it can then be explored  ( via AR)  - kinda like the scene in Blade Runner when 
Decker sticks a photo into his scanner then wanders around the photo!

and if that becomes the case, then i Imagine 'privacy' may become a real issue.

just some thoughts
