    You’re an idiot… I’m pretty sure writing the SOFTWARE that does it AUTOMATICALLY is a little more complicated.

  2. @monoham1 try manually doing it for 10 pics with different zoom levels and orientation. please post back the amount of time it takes. You also need to orient the pics in 3d and not in 2d

  3. big deal, a human can create a detailed model from a 1/1000th of the number of pictures with infinately more consistancy and detail than a freaking dot model with epaleptic fit inducing photo zooms

  4. One of the big problems with robots at the moment is environment recognition.

    I think these guys have nailed it.

  5. google street view is different, they take photos at 360* at the same time and the computers combines them knowing they were made from the same point at the same time, this is usefull for single photos, made by different people at the same location, it would be nice to show them all together but it would all be a mess, and in google street you can move only back and forth in other pictures which are not actually linked, this thing is able to recreate 3d environment from 2d pictures, it’s sweet

  6. i would like it if it shows more of the photo beside having to click on the squares. Like google street view you can pan all over

  7. Wonderful! which other place on Earth is so beautiful and best fitted for virtual reality than Italy and his beautiful, richly detailed artistic elements and a 2700 years of history?.

  8. That motherfucker reminds me of how fucking awesome the human mind can be. That dude studied somewhere and learned all this shit and is now a total genius.

  9. instead of exploring a digital version of these places i would rather explore them the analog way.

  10. To believe that Apple is Charlies Chocolate factory of ideas that’s a little bit one sided to say.
    How about this: “All major companies steal / buy ideas from other (smaller) companies”
    That would be a 99% accurate statement. They usually combine ideas to make a new one, with a little twist of their own.

  11. Bit strange that people are talking about photoshop, iphoto, cool iris.
    Non of these products have anything to do with PhotoSynth. It’s all about gathering photo’s of specific beautiful places in the world, so you can explore it. In my opinion a very beautiful service.

  12. Wow, it’s amazing hows technology keeps evolving.

    i want to see the source code of that software

  13. with the music in the backgroud one cannot hear anything (there is some prob in my internet connection / laptop as well) but the back. music just makes this worse!!
