Microsoft Photosynth
Photosynth is a Microsoft Research project thats now made it to the real world and is on Live Labs. The idea is to look at digital photos in a whole new way and when I say whole new way, I really mean it. The idea is to be able to connect various photos of a particular location to be able to build a complete model of the place which you can now navigate around via zooming, flying and plain old clicking…all in the digital world. It connects pictures taken from various devices…cell phone cameras, digital camera, slr cameras etc… and forms a complete view of the obj in context which can be explored in all possible ways. This, I guess, gives a whole new meaning to “connecting the dots”. Watch the video below to see it in action.
