Photosynth
Microsoft Live Labs have (finally) released their much-anticipated 3D photo viewer Photosynth. A web-based application which 'stitches' photographs together, Photosynth allows users to create 3D environments which others can then walk through.
Take a look for yourself. Below is a 'synth' I made from 87 snaps taken the other morning in Tokyo's Shibuya district:
The interface takes a bit of getting used to. Clicking on the left/right or up/down arrows won't always take you where you expect. Similarly, clicking the 'next' buttons takes you to the next photo in the catalog and can result in sudden (and sometimes surprising) changes in perspective.
There are already some very interesting 'synths' on the site. My favorites are Piazza San Marco and the amazing Boxer.
