Camera Projection - Maya

As a student and user of some 3D software, I found out that some software are good at what they do but they might not be the best tool to give basic knowledge to the learner. This is camera projection which turns a 2D image into a 3D environment. This is extensively used in the movie and film industry. 1st photo is the 2D image and the last photo is the 3D environment where the camera can zoom in and out, pan left and right etc. Software here is Maya and quite basic and easy.
