Microsoft Unleashes Photosynth

Yesterday Microsoft officially released its free Photosynth software to the public. Developed in 2006 by the company’s Live Labs, it lets users take a number of pictures of a scene, which the software can stitch together into a larger image – it’s even possible, by going around an object and taking pictures to create a 3D image, according to ZDNet.

The software, which can be downloaded from the Photosynth site, consists of the software to create the image and a browser plug-in to enable the viewing of 3D images. The finished ‘synth’ can be embedded in blogs or social networking sites.

Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with the British Broadcasting Company to build 3D photo representations of historic sites throughout the United Kingdom. The models launched in conjunction with a new BBC TV series entitled How We Built Britain, which chronicles the history of Britain’s greatest buildings.

Microsoft’s Live Labs division produced the models using its Photosynth technology. It works by taking a collection of photos from different angles, analyzing them for similarities, and figuring out how they fit together in 3D space. The end result is a navigable environment pieced together with different photos.
