Photosynth makes virtual 3-D world with photos you upload


After inclusion of 3-D view of desktop in Windows Vista, it seems that microsoft is set all the way to make things look right with another venture- Photosynth. Its the newest product of Microsoft live lab. Photosynth is a sophisticated technology that does a simple yet fascinating job. A bunch of overlapping photos can be converted into a 3-D panorama using photosynth, which results in formation of a so-called virtual world. You can move in all directions, peeping into adjacent photos while doing so. Moreover, you can zoom into or out of the photo as far as you need.

Using photosynth gives you the same feeling you get while viewing the popular 3-D maze screensaver of Windows os, but its not as irritating to the eyes like the latter as it moves according to user controls. Creation of photosynth is easy, free and automatic. All you have to do is to visit www.photosynth.com and install the necessary web browser plug-in. After installation, you can start uploading the photos. The photos retain all of their multi-megapixel resolutions which makes usage of this particular software flexible and appealing.
