I saw a video about this technology yesterday and found it very impressive.

The Photosynth Technology Preview is a taste of the newest - and, we hope, most exciting - way to view photos on a computer. Our software takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next.

In our collections, you can access gigabytes of photos in seconds, view a scene from nearly any angle, find similar photos with a single click, and zoom in to make the smallest detail as big as your monitor.

What? No examples? :examine: (At least I couldn't find any. But I've been sick ... :hayfever: )

You can get to samples by clicking on "Collections" from the left-hand menu on that page, but you'll have to install the software to view them. Or you can just watch this video, which is how I was introduced to the technology:

Also, I hope you feel better!

Isn't it? I just downloaded the "technology preview" to play with it myself and it's even hotter hands on.

Piazza San Marco! You almost want to dodge the pigeons!
