Photos as Building Blocks

“What if your photo collection was an entry point into the world, like a wormhole that you could jump through and explore… ”
Sounds like something you’d be interested in? Microsoft thinks so (and after watching the video so do I).
Being able to recreate a scene with a series of photos is nothing new, “photo-stitching” software has been around for some time. But Photosynth takes this to a whole new level.
Just watch the video and drool…
crazzzyyyy! Blade runner. Can’t wait til this hits my desk.
Imagine if this could link with flickr and you could visit a place in the world, based on the photos on Flickr!
Brilliant…
This is wild! It reminds me of the video game Shemue where RPG’s went free range…Now we have “free range” images on the web.
