Microsoft Live Labs has announced the availability of the first preview of Photosynth. I think I’ll try and give it a whirl. But I probably need to take some more photos first…
Update: At this stage, the preview only works with collections supplied by the developers. The capability to add your own collections is supposed to come along later. I have to say that the demo is pretty damned impressive. You’ll need a high-end graphics card on your PC if it is to work, though.
If this stuff does turn into a product, and it can be coupled to online photo-repositories such as Flickr, then this is going to be very interesting indeed.
Addendum: And of course Microsoft has now scrapped the Photosynth product and technology, so none of these links work anymore. It’s dead, Jim.
