The semantic web of images

This demonstration of Photosynth by Blaise Aguera y Arcas is truly amazing. Again Microsoft got it first up and was smart enough to acquire this technology last year with buying SeaDragon.

Photosynth itself is a vastly powerful piece of software capable of taking a wide variety of images, analyzing them for similarities, and grafting them together into an interactive three-dimensional space. This seamless patchwork of images can be viewed via multiple angles and magnifications, allowing us to look around corners or “fly” in for a (much) closer look.

You really have to see it to believe it :-)

Steve Ballmer shows Surface and talks about MS on mobile phones

There is another new interview over at All things digital this time with Steve Ballmer and him showing their new device/application “Surface”. Actually nothing new, but it would not be Microsoft if they would not look at others and adopt it to the Windows platform.
