Microsoft Photosynth is very cool Friday, November 10, 2006
Microsoft has done a techlab preview of Photosynth and its very impressive, which it explains on its blog. It effectively will allows you to build a photo montage with depth, enabling you to take lots of shots of an area and merge them so that you can navigate around the space. In this case a picture is defintely worth a thousand words (or should that be demo). Intuitive to interact with, I think its certain to do well.
It also reminded me of the concept that Zooomr launched which allowed you to "navigate through" points on a photo.
This has obvious applications in the property world [sale and rental, residential and commercial]. Equally in the product catalogue space. That's aside from snap happy individuals showing off their photos.
Just think of the possibilities if you could do a mashup of it with www.like.com
