I'm really excited about the Photosynth project by Microsoft. I think it's going to be great.

Sounds neat.

this program will be good, especialy for wowing uni tutors

like that program stitcher, my tutors were amazed when i made a 360 degree picture of the studio and made it so you could look around it. ^_^

1) the link is screwed, you put 1 too many http in, and missed the colon on the second one

Code:

2) Personally i think this is a FASCINATING idea, and if they pull it off, i think this could be the dawn of 3d cameras or something
If they can do this - great
Wonder how much it will cost though

I saw a demo of it a while ago but I do not know where from and it looked really quite impressive but it was only a video so i don't know how seam less it will be.

The forum link at the end of the article sends me to some really weird website.

Looks cool though!

I think it is really, really neat ... assuming that it actually works.

Well I think the servers would not cost more than Flickr or YouTube, and the CPU power could be used from users themselves. So let's say I upload 512MB of pictures. I would have to keep the Photosync Application open while uploading and a bit more, while mine CPU would be connected to a Swarm of CPU goodness working through the images and arranging them, making connections.

Kinda like those collaborative research "Use your Idle CPU for Medicine" applications.

I think through this it could be quite easily possible. Add small subscription fee for server costs and you have a manageable maintenance cost.

oh this is online ...

probably even more expensive then

£900 for the program and £10 month to use it, sounds about right

I'm actually surprised you guys didnt report on this earlier. Had I known I would have sent you over the email that MS sent me about 2-3 weeks ago!

But yeah, it sure looks interesting and I can't wait to have a play.
