Microsoft Live Labs Photosynth

From Addicted to Digital Media

What if you could take all the pictures of a particular place on Flickr, taken at different angles, and without a 3D model, your computer could stitch the pictures together into a 3D, navigable model where you can zoom in or out, walk around and more?

Okay, you have my full attention. Continue, please.

Enter Microsoft Live Labs' project, "Photosynth"

Wow, this technology rocks. Download the videos on the Photosynth page. I can't wait to get my hands on this. Who said innovation was dead at Microsoft?

Update:On10.Net has a cool interview and more in-depth demo of Windows Live Labs' PhotoSynth

Stop it, you are just playing with me!

After a little research Channel 9 has a video too. That is still downloading as we speak, but Channel 9 is usually my favorite. Channel 9 is so much less like regular marketing and so much more like an actual conversation with the developers that are making it happen.
