This is the application that blew me away at Microsoft's annual sales conference in July.  The demo was absolutely stunning and the technology behind it is mind-blowing.  I've been playing around with the internal release for the last couple of months and now it's gone public.  So what is Photosynth?

The Photosynth Technology Preview is a taste of the newest - and, we hope, most exciting - way to view photos on a computer. Our software takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next.

In our collections, you can access gigabytes of photos in seconds, view a scene from nearly any angle, find similar photos with a single click, and zoom in to make the smallest detail as big as your monitor.

So experience it for yourself here!
