TED | Talks | Blaise Aguera y Arcas: Jaw-dropping Photosynth demo (video)


Description

TED Talks Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around the Web, Photosynth (based on Seadragon technology) creates breathtaking multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all expectation. Its architect, <a href="/index.php/speakers/view/id/117" target="_blank">Blaise Aguera y Arcas</a>, shows it off in this standing-ovation demo. Curious about that speck in corner? Dive into a freefall and watch as the speck becomes a gargoyle. With an unpleasant grimace. And an ant-sized chip in its lower left molar. &quot;Perhaps the most amazing demo I&#39;ve seen this year,&quot; wrote Ethan Zuckerman, after TED2007. Indeed, Photosynth might utterly transform the way we manipulate and experience digital images.
