I work with a charity (relax, that's not the important part here) and regularly have to submit 3d design plans (using Google Sketch, ArchiCAD etc) as projections for the Charity in how they want orphanages, schools and campuses etc, developed based on the needs of the people, usability of the area, availability of materials and of course the dreaded "C" word, costs.
I think that the impression which a mini, to-scale 3D model, could make to not only the charity trustees but also to donors and investors (or in the business world to the boss, board and the customers) would be incredible.
The models can be made modular and end up as similar to but definately smaller than Howard Stark's design for "The City of the Future" (Iron Man refs FTW) and can beat the hell out of cardboard and Papier-mâché, as the pieces would often be reusable and repaintable - so the charity benefits from low costs of making many beautiful presentations, which would attract impressed donors.
I wrote this comment according to how I would use it, but I am obviously getting at the benefits for architects and landscape artists which would be even more varied and tangible than mine.
I, like Mike Davey, come from a graphics and design background and can all-too-easily see the benefits of this. Though I would be mentally raped... er I mean stunned, if they would let such a cool feat on a plane
