This is a must: Live Labs launches Photosynth Technology Preview
If you’re into photography this is a must. Download the techpreview of Photosyth and experience what “photosharing” of the future looks like …
Photosynth has got to be the coolest creation from the whiz kids inside Microsoft Live Labs (as we’ve shown here on 10). Now they’ve decided the time is right to unleash their creation to the public. We’ve been playing with this internally at the 10 HQ for a few weeks and it’s clear now that going back to any other photography experience just doesn’t stand up.
Provided you meet the photosynth system requirements, download the tech preview for yourself, fill it full of last summer’s vacation photos, and prepare to be impressed.
I was looking at this the other day. It’s pretty and cool but what is the point? I don’t get it! Any insight?
Simon,
I have no infomration as to what actual service / solution it will be.
My take n Photosynth is that this will become the ultimate way of sharing photo’s. Your photo’s of certain locations can be shared woth others, different angles / positions and all of a sudden you have a 3D environment based on the photo’s of hunderds maybe thousands of other people.
From what I’ve see Photosyth has technology that can ‘recognise’ buildings and other stuff on photo’ts to be able to link them together.
For me for now very cool technology with a lot of potential to enrich the sharing of photo’s in a powerful way.
There are some research postings on it, will look for them and post them here
