1. A method for experiencing an event at or near a point of interest, comprising: collecting depth information, and associated metadata at or near a point of interest from one or more prepositioned devices positioned at one or more known locations proximate said point of interest, each device having a depth camera, wherein the captured depth information includes range between a depth camera and one or more points near said point of interest and said metadata include an orientation of the depth camera; collecting random images and associated metadata randomly captured at or near said point of interest during the event from a plurality of mobile devices accompanying a number of contributors, each mobile device having a depth camera, wherein the associated metadata for each image includes location of the mobile device, an orientation of the camera, and depth information; receiving at least some of said images, depth information and metadata from some of said devices from a network; receiving said images, depth information and metadata at an experience platform connected to the network; processing the images, depth information and metadata to build a 3D model at or near the point of interest; and viewing the 3D model of the event including at least some of the random images from different perspectives at or near the point of interest.
