Photosynth Technology from Microsoft

[Smilee]

Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around the Web, Photosynth creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation. Its architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, shows it off in this standing-ovation demo. Curious about that speck in corner? Dive into a freefall and watch as the speck becomes a gargoyle. With an unpleasant grimace.

Pretty impressive technology dealing with photos and stringing other various photos together as well.

Yep, i thought that was just simply amazing. Must cost a fortune atm.

[cody56]

Didn't they say it'd cost from like $5,000-$10,000??

this is just mind blowing... now if they make it on a google earth type scale.....

 

 

btw, did anyone else feel like they were watching the movie "deja vu" while using this?
