Microsoft just changed the world of photo viewing
Here’s something that will blow your mind away. Microsoft has recently released a software (and a service) which completely redefines the way you will enjoy your photos from now on. Have you ever felt that the picture you are capturing just doesn’t do justice to the scene you are witnessing? Have you been taking a lot of pictures and painstakingly stitching them together to create a panorama?
Well, that is exactly where this new service will help you. It’s called PhotoSynth. PhotoSynth lets you take loads of pictures of the scene that you are trying to capture and simply load it up in there desktop software. This software then looks through all the pictures and finds overlapping areas and then stitches them up automatically. But the story doesn’t end here.
The software then uploads the ‘synth’ up on the PhotoSynth servers for viewing. Now a large synth would never work if viewed under normal conditions (it would have too much data – some of the synths out there are 300 pictures big!). This is where another technology developed by Microsoft comes in. It’s called Seadragon. This technology allows the browser to pull very selective data to your computer so that you only get what you are seeing and not the whole file. The end product is magical.
Head over to their site to see it in action, and we assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
