I remember reading about Photosynth a while back - it's a nifty idea where they take a series of photographs and combine them into a 3D space - but didn't realise you could actually try it until today.
Photosynth Tech Preview
You'll need IE7/6 (unsurprisingly, as it's ActiveX-reliant) to use it. It's seriously impressive stuff - I can't wait to make my own collections.

It's a bit disappointing that you only see one picture at a time with a lot of dots representing the rest of the scene... Would be much cooler if is would reasseble the bigger picture from the photos in a 3D scene.
Anyway, I didn't really get a chance to take a good look yet; it doesn't really impress over remote desktop

You know, they do state that it is a beta, and that it might have bugs. If you don't like to see bugs, don't use betas.King Harold wrote:I allready found a bug, but hey its microsoft..
I thought it was a really neat program. And, as to displaying the entire scene instead of just dots of light, think about how much bandwidth that would take. Load times would increase by a huge amount, quite possibly to the amount where it would be unusable. I thought the 3d array of dots of light looked nice.
