It is amazing to see these tools and it is even more exciting that they are being built by Microsoft.
The first one is PhotoSynth. You all must have heard about it.
Let me just give you one example that is created using PhotoSynth.
Barack Obama’s Inaugural Ceremony
You can see what has been created using thousands of photos taken on the inauguration ceremony of 44th President of United States, Barack Obama.
Second example you can look at is an Indian Temple Heritage Site which is been captured with the use of PhotoSynth.
So you can see how you can create a more meaningful and much engaging 3d images. And this is created very easily using the photographs that you take while you go there and just give it to PhotoSynth and it will create it for you. So these synths basically give you a feel of the place you visited.
Second of the tool is Microsoft HD View, now this I have encountered today only.
The above heritage site video shows how HD View can be useful.
I was just wondering that these tools give a new dimension to digital photography. So from now on when you go to any place for photography, you can keep these tools in mind and while you return you can create synths and share it with others that will give them a better look and feel of the place you visited.
Share your thoughts on the same and another thing I would like to know if you can share any of the synths or hd view images that you might have created and we can have a look at them.
