Photosynth

Imagine taking all the photos on the web to create a cummulative, accurate represenation of our visual experience. 

The photos beccome actually building blocks for 3D models. 

From TED (again), imagine taking all the photos on Flicker, mapping all the points and places spacially, then coming up with accurate 3D representation of those places all over the world.  The future of the web is visual.

Photosynth takes hundreds — or thousands — of conventional digital photos, analyzes them, and then through clever image analysis and comparison constructs an entire 3D geometry, mapping them onto the result.
