Description
I've recently added support for OpenSfM JSON files for a Blender-Addon that allows to import different photogrammetry formats into Blender.
Here is an example reconstruction shown in Blender.
It automatically computes a camera animation using the input images as shown in the following image. Of course, one can use Blender's tools to generate other camera trajectories as well.
I share this information here, since it is probably useful for other OpenSfM users as well. If you have any questions let me know. Feel free to close this issue.
Side note: Parsing the mesh data contained in the JSON file is not performed yet, I'll have a look when I got some more spare time.

Research direction
No OpenSfM file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the linked Blender addon and the OpenSfM JSON reconstruction format, then clarify whether mesh parsing is requested; completion cannot be defined from this issue alone.
