Microsoft Live Labs: Photosynth - What is Photosynth?
Back when I worked in Evergreen's digital photography lab, I constantly had to remind non-photography students that while Photoshop is cool and all, it is not that nifty Polaroid machine that Deckard has in Bladerunner. There are limitations, dude.
Well it looks like Microsoft is trying to bring Deckard's little photo-tv gadget a little closer to your living-room.
Actually, this looks more like panorama software meets Carrera, but Microsoft seems to want it to be closer Deckard's photo-manipulation device.
Photosynth takes a large collection of photos of a place or object, analyzes them for similarities, and displays them in a reconstructed 3-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 photograph 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.
Explore a custom tour.
