microsoft photo-synth

Just heard about this today from Alex. Its crazy what they are doing with photography and the Internet these days. This program constructs 3D space from lots of still images. Basically you give it images of the same place from slightly different angles and it puts them together in a 3D space. They are public so people can tag their own pictures into the image. Iconic tourist areas will be popular synths ao I am wondering if I could give it a go.
They have already constructed places from images collected from google of the Notre Dame Church. http://photosynth.net/

Also learned today that you can travel the world underwater on google-earth, crazy


I think where I'm heading in my work this year is towards using these new technological gimicky things as tools for my development. I have the concept now I need to use these things and get real technical. The work I'm presenting I enjoy and I think it says what I want and makes sense but it is not quite up to it technically and that is what I need to work on.
