Possibly the coolest program I have ever seen!

I suppose it's pretty impressive to be able to do that, but apart from novelty value etc I don't see much of a real application for it.

When I take pics of places, I do it cos I have seen something I like the look of and I have composed a shot and want it to capture a memory etc. I can't see myself wanting to then add that picture to a huge collection that can then be built up to form a 3D image and viewed by the world over. And also I won't be particularly interested in seeing other peoples images of the same place.

Also, will there be measures to prevent rubbish quality or badly taken pictures ending up being used cos that could make things look rubbish etc. #

Maybe not applicable for all, but if you took a crappy phone pic of Trafalger Square for instance, got home, and there were people in the way, or you didn't quite get a building in, Photosynth will take your picture and montage all of the other pics, so you can pan around and see all of the square with higher quality pictures.
 
I think the technology that allows you to stream gigs of images etc without any loading will be very useful in many areas.

I hope we get all this cool stuff in the next Windows. Vista 2010.
 
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...

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.

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?
 
What i loved was the BMW advert he had put in, then closed up on it showing not only the spec but the schematics as well. Truly Awesome. To think one screen is a whole book :eek:
Seriously superb.
 
erm how do you actually use the programe once installed? as far as i can see there are no shortcuts or even an excecutable to run? do you need some other proggy to run this?

Yup

I'm wanting to know this as well

I can see the future of this.

Perhaps SAT-NAV with true to life 3d maps. Ooh I should sell this to tomtom.
 
Oh my GOD!!!!!

There's me, looking for hot chicks to zoom in on. Guess who I find???

Only flippin Stephen Hawking!!!

i wish there was a way to get all the photos to load up at once, that would be awsomely cool then :cool:
