I saw Photosynth being utilized on one of the CSI shows ealier this week. But didn't know what it was. Then I see this article on Slate and the world of Photography is not so flat. Here is an example of this application using the Inauguration and the pre-inauguration party at the Lincoln Memorial. It is possible to zoom in, or zoom out. It is even possible to rotate a 180 degrees, and if enough photos are uploaded 360 degrees. I spent almost an hour zooming in and out of the inaugural pics. WOW! The effect is almost a 3D rendering of the Capitol Building and the people gathered there. As I moved through the pictures it was almost instantaneous the switching from picture to picture, and view to view. A new way to view the pictures of the beginning of a new era in America. Now if I find a place to put all my pictures of Sanming, China, that will be something. Photosynth on.
