MS Live Labs Photosynth is an amazing technology that may revolutionize how we interact with digital media. It allows users to access gigabytes of image data quickly and can take large collections of images of a scenic location, such as a building, and reassemble them to create a three dimensional representation of the space. Navigate into the picture, see all sides of a scene or zoom into the smallest detail. Try it online with an XP or Vista PC. Explore synth collections such as the BBC’s Britain in Pictures and Exploring Korea and synths from Canada, Venice and Rome.
