NASA & PhotoSynth Collaboration

  • Artikkeli

Live Labs announced today that NASA will be using PhotoSynth to create 3D environments of the preparation of the Endeavor launch. A snippet:

"Today, we’re announcing an exciting collaboration with NASA using Photosynth technology, to create three-dimensional environments of preparations for the launch of space shuttle Endeavour. For the first time ever, viewers can experience unprecedented views of shuttle Endeavour on the launch pad, interior and surrounding area of the Vehicle Assembly Building, and the return of previous flight Shuttle Atlantis atop a 747. Photosynth is able to capture the depth and complexity of the shuttle’s structure, providing exclusive images to viewers around the world enabling the unique ability to explore this NASA mission."

MSNBC is also using PhotoSynth for a tour of the Kennedy Space Center. Also check out this Youtube video of Blaise Aguera y Arcas demoing PhotoSynth. Very cool stuff!

    On the heels of an announcement regarding Photosynth and NASA working together, I had the opportunity to interview Blaise Aguera y Arcas, the architect behind Photosynth.
