  2. What is Photosynth? • Photosynth is a software application that analyzes digital photographs to build a three-dimensional models.

  3. How does it work? • Step 1 • Software analyzes multiple photographs taken of the same area. • Each photograph is processed using an interest point detection. • An algorithm detects similarities between points and, essentially, connects the dots.

  4. Step 2 • The next step is to create the 3D model, which is done with a Photosynth viewer. • The viewer is free to download • The viewer is stored on the users computer, but the photos are stored with on a Microsoft server.

  5. Features • Zoom in and out of photos • Maneuver through a scene to see photos at different angles • Send photos

  6. Limitations? • The maximum amount of space Microsoft provides is 20GB. • Which equates to approximately 60 ‘synths’ of 150-200 photos each. • Also, you can’t add photos, they all need to be uploaded at once for a project, Microsoft is working on this complaint though.

  7. More Limitations? • Takes practice to get the right shots • Only runs on XP and Vista • Lastly, to get a really good ‘synth,’ a lot of pictures need to be taken.

  8. Applications • Creative way for consumers to store, and organize photos. • It is also planned to be a back end programming tool for Virtual Earths.
