Photosynth Is Cool

Posted on August 25, 2008 By Bob Caswell 4 Comments on Photosynth Is Cool

In case you missed it, last week Microsoft released a cool freebie program called Photosynth. Basically, it takes a group of related photos you upload and makes a 3D environment out of them. My first tries at making a “synth” of downtown Seattle actually worked out pretty well. I’m sure there are plenty of practical applications for this, but for now, I’ll just say it was a fun way for me to waste time.

If you want more details, check out Mossberg’s review or various coverage from TechCrunch.
