so cool! Can't wait til google images becomes a 3D tour

This is pretty kewl, but think about it.. you could only do this if you had like thousands of pictures, with the same lighting and everything? like lol not kewl.

I think my negativity towards this product is really just resultant of the hype surrounding its release. An article I read had made it seem like it would generate a 3-d model of the scene, not just orientate the pictures in 3-d relative to eachother, which *is* step 1 you're right, but at least combine them into something, I know I took 500 pictures, I don't wanna see all 500 at once with cloudy borders. Either way, I'll be patient! Side note, nav/geo reasearch use=good : military use=bad.

this technology is not necessarily meant solely for recollection purposes or entertainment; imagine the applications for navigational or geographical research, accurate 3-d model representation of the world, or even military use! The possibilities are endless. Besides, with technology, people typically focus too far forward, and ignore or criticize the steps needed to be taken to reach such lengths.

bluecrew I think once the technology is perfected you could easily break down a video into their frames in each video and create a lot of cool services that integrate this technology from a social perspective to other unique creative ideas.I think if cloud computing mostly but it could be used probably beyond that. I imagine having an algorithm that just does this automatically thus reducing the need for someone to crop these together.

I don't understand what everyone's so crazy about?! The interface on psynth is interpretative at best, getting your bearings is half the battle, moving around causes the photos do this stretch-warp thing in and out rather than transition. The photos not directly being viewed are placed at akward skewed perspectives with overcrowding borders. In the time it takes to capture 500 photos you could have generated the whole scene polygonaly on a computer for a much better result. Or just take a video?

This technology is purely amazing - "cloud network". One point in time, in the very near future, computer and information technology will be so advanced that the way data and information sharing are accessed will be revolutionized and utilized in ways like this - and not just that but almost in so many aspects of life.Many people may hate Microsoft for different reasons (and some petty), but you have to agree that this kind of stuff is groundbreaking.
