Probably the biggest real life application is 3D walkthroughs of houses for sale & rental. This already exists, but the quality isn't as good as shown here.
Other examples are things like walking through archeological sites, 3D virtual backgrounds (e.g. for newsrooms), maybe crime scene reconstruction?
It's basically perfect 3D capture, except the big limitations are that you can't change the geometry or lighting. The inability to relight it is probably the most severe restriction.
