For ALL of the parents that ever thought your kids wouldn't be able to use those gaming skills & discouraged their time playing... time to eat crow possibly.

Which cave systems? I would love to see what the Cave of Swallows is hiding & others near where the Nasca peoples were & some others.

You'll need more than that though to scan but, the tech already exists & is in use.

Asset management companies use these for underground lines, electric, water, gas.
It does not instantly render 3D maps like you might think. Engineers comb through the data while a program very slowly builds a model via multi step processes using LIDAR, cameras, thermal, & a trained drone pilot. IF AND WHEN AI can be utilized & interfaced with these same systems THEN it might become a less time consuming venture & be more like what the militaries have envisioned for quite a long time.
I find it interesting as well. 🙂

I was one of those kids who was told playing games and computers was a waste. With the skills I learned I now make $50 an hour(no degree) and work 3 days a week(get paid for 40hrs). Doesn't seem like a waste now.

Sweet. Definitely not a waste to be one of the so called "computer nerds" but, I've always known that. Someone, I call him God, told me men who are nerds are usually the smartest of the bunch & that was the type of man I wanted for a husband.
