So we have just released a v1.0 of the truly amazing Photosynth technology. This is the auto-stitching technology where you take a collection of digital photos and it brings them altogether into one interactive view.

From the press release:

"Getting started with Photosynth is easy:

  • To begin, just take a few dozen digital photos — 20 to 300 photos are required, depending on the size of the place or object — with overlap between each shot, from a number of locations and angles.
  • Next, download a small, free software application to your computer from https://photosynth.com. This software works in concert with the Photosynth Web site, which is also a free service.
  • Build your synth in just two easy steps: First, from the Photosynth Web site, click on Create and select the pictures you want to use. Then, give your creation a name and click on Synth, and Photosynth automatically creates and uploads your synth. In about the same amount of time it would take to upload the pictures to a photo-sharing site, you can enjoy your pictures in dramatic and detailed 3-D.
  • The finished synth can be accessed from any Windows XP- or Windows Vista-powered computer with a broadband connection. If you want to comment on other people’s synths or create your own, you’ll also need a free Windows Live ID.
  • Once created, synths can also be embedded on Web sites, blogs and social networking sites or virtually anywhere HTML can be edited.
