sensopiaSensopia today is reporting a nice $1.2Million round of funding that will help them push their “MagicPlan” technology to the next level.  If you’re not familiar with MagicPlan:

MagicPlan lets you take a photo of your environment and generate a floor plan in minutes. The application can automatically measure, draw, and publish a floor plan by taking a photo with your iOS device. MagicPlan was released earlier this year and uses augmented reality and reality capturing technology to create a floor plan.

It’s a good use of classic SLAM-type technology, although I believe the real opportunity for monetization is in what they do with the resulting map.  Just mapping the environment for it’s own sake isn’t terribly useful.  That is the main thrust of this investment, so hopefully we’ll see more “Powered by MagicPlan” apps on the horizon.
