With Microsoft's new Photosynth technology, users put multiple snapshots of a place or thing in one end, and a seemingly three-dimensional rendering of the scene comes out the other. The company is demonstrating the technology through a Web site. Photosynth came about through Microsoft's acquisition of Seadragon in 2006.
Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) on Wednesday launched a new technology and service called "Photosynth." The system, currently available to users through a Web site, uses multiple snapshots of a scene to create a seemingly 3-D representation.
Careful using it, though -- any image "synthed" by users on the demo site becomes viewable to anyone.
In the works at Microsoft Live Labs since 2006, the technology makes it possible for anyone with a digital camera, PC and a broadband connection to create 3-D scenes from a collection of standard, one-dimensional photographs, according to Microsoft.
