Photosynth Demo

I'm sure some of you have heard about this but I thought it was too cool not to post.

Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from
around the Web, Photosynth creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces
with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation. Its
architect, blaise aguera y arcas,
shows it off in this standing-ovation demo. Curious about that speck in
corner? Dive into a freefall and watch as the speck becomes a gargoyle.
With an unpleasant grimace. and an ant-sized chip in its lower left
molar. "Perhaps the most amazing demo I've seen this year," wrote Ethan
Zuckerman, after TED2007. Indeed, Photosynth might utterly transform
the way we manipulate and experience digital images.
