I recently posted the Photosynth tech demo from Siggraph 2008. This is the program that stitches a bunch of flat photos of the same location together to create a 3-d fly-through of that location. It even displays that fly-through over the internet.

Well, Microsoft just released a version of Photosynth to the public. You can upload photos of your home, workplace, Hellfire Club cave or I suppose your colonoscopy and it will build all that into a 3-d fly-through.

Try it out, here (will require a Windows Live ID)

If you create a Photosynth, post it to the forum. I’ve created a thread for just that purpose in the “Your Projects” section.

Below is an amazing demo of MS’s Photosynth technology. The software can take a a group of photos from any location and string them together to build a 3-D space. There are a number of amazing effects that emerge from this number crunching.

Enjoy the demo:
