Although you may have stumbled on my reluctance regarding Microsoft in some posts in this blog, this new technology championed by Microsoft Live labs is so cool I’m prepared to put aside some of my bugbears just this once. The technology in question is called Photosynth and is a kind of 3d tagging system for photographs, which means you can search the web for a picture and instantly have related pictures be aligned into a 3d environment around the source picture so you can navigate the area as if it was a 3d world. Sound weird? You betcha – until you check out this little film and it all makes sense.. if I was Adobe I would be very worried… very worried indeed as this is a kind of technology which would be great for the next generation of Photoshop, not the next generation of Microsoft Photo Editor.. just a personal preference. Anyway – have a look and be intrigued!
