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
