Hello Photosynth, Love from Australia.

By Nick Hodge | August 21, 2008

I live only 5 minutes away from the most awe­some vista in the world: the Sydney Harbour.

Now you can exper­i­ence the Har­bour on a not-so-sunny day (that is, this morn­ing) thanks to Microsoft Pho­to­synth (note: Mac users: we’re work­ing on it. In the cur­rent term, you will need to Boot­camp to see Pho­to­synths. The VMWare Fusion guys say that their Beta 2 of Fusion 2.0 works OK with Pho­to­synth)

Pho­to­synth is avail­able for pub­lic cre­ation of synths. Grabs some pho­tos of an object or place, and synth them.

For fun, I also added a synth of “Rambo”, The Big Merino from Goul­burn, NSW.

The on10.net Shut­ter­speed epis­ode has an inter­view with the Pho­to­synth team.

    Nor­mal first-24-hour-cycle scale to massive interest issues.

    Thank­fully, the Pho­to­synth team are sur­prised by the interest, but have archi­tec­ted in a way that enables them to scale up. Although not instant­an­eously :-)

    Pho­to­synth is a dis­cov­ery, information-extraction, nor­mal­iz­a­tion, input and auto­mated mod­el­ing tool that will be import­ant for vari­ous things.There are already sev­eral synths on the Pho­to­synth web­site to view them.It doesn’t look like a com­pet­ing pro­ject to Pho­to­synth.
