A quote about Photosynth from Microsoft Live Labs “First there was the snapshot, and then came video. Now there is Photosynth, a new service available at photosynth.com that will change the way you experience and share photos.”

Indeed Photosynth is a revolutionary technology from Microsoft which enables you to relive those precious moments of your life which you don’t want to forget by creating three-dimensional, 360-degree experience. And you don’t require any sophesticated tools to do this. Your digital camera is more than enough. It is made by combining digital images intelligently and unlike regular videos the user can pan or zoom in on any individual image.
Photosynth consists of two independent and extremely smart techniques : the ability to reconstruct the scene or object from a collection of digital images, and the technology to bring that experience over the Internet.

Using techniques from the field of computer vision, Photosynth examines pictures for similarities among them and uses that information to estimate the shape of the subject and the vantage point each photo was taken from. With this information, it tries to recreate the space and use it as a background to display and navigate through the photos.
