My First 100% Synthy Photosynth!
This morning I uploaded 17 pictures taken from the balcony of a cruise ship one morning when we docked in Ireland. I was expecting emerald green, but this is what I woke up to on that gray, drab day.
If you can't see the images below, you will need to go to the Microsoft Photosynth website at http://photosynth.net to get the required tools.
The pictures are fairly high-res, which makes it better for viewers to explore.
If you go to the Photosynth website, view this Photosynth in the Direct3D viewer, in full-screen. It is easy to navigate with a touch screen- I used my HP TouchSmart PC and was impressed with the fluid interaction, considering that this is a web-based application.
Haven't yet heard about Photosynth? Here is a description from the Photosynth website:
"Photosynth creates an amazing new experience with nothing more than a bunch of photos. Creating a synth allows you to share the places and things you love using the cinematic quality of a movie, the control of a video game, and the mind-blowing detail of the real world."

Link to "Internet of Surfaces" Photo Examples
Here is a link to a wide assortment of photos that provide examples of what an "Internet of Surfaces" might look like:
INTERNET OF SURFACES: Photo Examples of Screens of All Sizes
Some of the photos are from my team projects. Other photos are from the Microsoft Surface website, NUI-Group members, and odds and ends from other sources.

Microsoft's Photosynth: How does it play on large screen displays?
I think this application would be great to play with on a large screen display. I heard that it will be integrated with Microsoft's Virtual Earth, but I am not sure if this has occurred.
Take a look!
