Possibly the coolest program I have ever seen!

The other lectures on the Ted site are going to keep me busy for weeks. Ive just watched about fractal patterns in african villages, and the planning for a mission to Europa and to mine ice on the moon. :cool:

I guess that is one application for it, but is it really worth all the work they've clearly put in, just for that kind of thing? I don't think so.

I see the technology as being very usefull for a vast amount of people. do you ever use Google maps? I use it all the time to plan photoshoots and to plan places to go to. Now if this program was tied into something like google maps (Or more likely the maps.live or whatever its called) then you could zoom right in and see pictures of anywhere someone has pointed a camera at. Its an extremely logical way of tying together millions of images that are spread over the internet with currently no links between them. If things like this took of, it could end up with the entire world being mapped in images in some way or other.

Other applications would be to use it for CCTV cameras. Imagine town security services being able to quickly and logically move through a city, jumping from one video feed to another. Or watching a football match, but being able to view it from anywhere even if a camera isn't there. If enough cameras are covering an area, then it should be possible to calculate an image from a location where there is no camera by taking averages and perpective calcualtions from the cameras that are there.

in my work place that system would be revolutionary, i am software developer and often have screens and screens of code, or documents and documents of requirements, could you imagine pages and pages of code scrollable and zoomable like that book, it would be awsome...

Exactly. I can see the layout they use at the start of the demo in use for all sorts of interfaces, especially where physical space is a premium. OLED or LEP panels being used to display newspapers using this technology anyone?
