This is a video of a
presentation from the TED
conference in Monterey about
the future of how digital
photos are collated and
viewed. This new technology
is called 'Photosynth'.
This is the description of
Photosynth according to
labs.live.com:
"Photosynth
is an amazing new technology
from Microsoft Live Labs
that will change forever the
way you think about digital
photos. Our software takes a
large collection of photos
of a place or an object,
analyzes them for
similarities, and displays
them in a reconstructed
three-dimensional space.
With
Photosynth
you can:
-
Walk or
fly
through
a scene
to see
photos
from any
angle.
-
Seamlessly
zoom in
or out
of a
photo
whether
it's
megapixels
or
gigapixels
in size.
-
See
where
pictures
were
taken in
relation
to one
another.
-
Find
similar
photos
to the
one
you're
currently
viewing.
-
Send a
collection
- or a
particular
view of
one - to
a
friend."
