http://photosynth.net You can create your own synths and view those created by others. One really awesome feature is the ability to detect objects and create a 3D point cloud from them. The Harlequin Beetle synth is a great example. Update: Creating a synth was a lot quicker than I expected. It took about 10 minutes to create a synth from 100 photos on my Q9300, and another 15 to upload them. The process was painless. I just needed to pick the photos and give the synth a name; everything else was automated. Mesa Verde National Park - Long House Bryce Canyon [Edited by - mutex on August 21, 2008 1:12:39 AM]

I met one of the guys who developed that at a "Dorkbot" convention in Seattle. That was like six months ago? Anyways, I didn't know what he was talking about when he first mentioned photosynth, but now it seems like its gotten a lot of attention.

Here's an interesting presentation which was given at TED: Linky
