Share your photos in an amazingly new way using Microsoft’s Photosynth

By User ImagePrasanna | Aug 24, 2008

Microsoft recently released Logo_Photosynthan online application called Photosynth which allows the users to share & experience their photos in an amazingly new way. Photosynth takes a bunch of normal photos and recreates the scene in a 3-D environment. Users need to download a Photosynth software for creating & viewing synths. Every user gets around 20GB of free space for storing their synths. At present, there are no options for creating private synths; all the synths will be available for public viewing.

To see the real power of Photosynth, you need to upload photos with common elements while creating your synth. Photosynth then analyzes the photos for similarities & reconstructs the subject. After uploading the photos through the desktop Photosynth application, it will give you a ‘synth (connection)’ percentage of your photo collection. Photosynth will not be of much use if the photos in your collection are not connected with one another.

Currently, the Photosynth application works only on machines running Windows XP or Vista. They will be supporting more platforms, including Mac (the most popular one among the photographers) in their future releases.

Below is a list of top ten synths of my choice in no particular order.

    Sounds like a cool app. I tried to install the synth viewer alone but it also installs the application to create the synth so I opted not do do so :) At least they should have shipped the browser plugin activex control separately.

    Cheers,

    @Ajith, You are right. I also didn’t like that. Actually, the application will be useful only for creating the synths. I don’t know why they are forcing people to download it even for viewing.

    I think this is a cool application, digital pictures shown in 3d. Also, knowing that we don’t need to do all the work from scratch especially using Photoshop.

  18. no imageRoger Hamilton (Who am I?) October 7, 2008 4:51 pm

    Again, it is indeed interesting. Somehow though, I just feel it won’t be that popular like standard photo sharing programs.

  19. no imageNomi (Who am I?) October 11, 2008 8:27 pm

    This seems really good as well as interesting. I will defiantly try it. Please do update about the MAC version. Because i am using MAC and want to have it for that. Hope it will be released soon.
