Photosynth: Create 3D panoramas from photos

Even Microsoft may be surprised next time Google has an interesting online application: The Redmond company has developed a tool, Photosynth, which are photographs of an object can be assembled in a 3D space.

The software detects the basis of the provided pictures, shapes, objects, camera position and angle and adds them together in a 3D view, so you can move through this room or rotate the object from different views, zoom and move.

For the first tentative steps Microsoft has prepared some tips and tricks on how to best get the pictures designed to find the best possible results. For his own 3D panorama each user 20GB are available.

Provided however that they are installed one browser plug-in and a Windows Live ID owns or invests. You software currently runs only on Windows.

Here are some examples (the best looking one of the presentations will be in full screen mode):
