OT 3D new technology

Hi there,
I youst stumbled across an interesting report about a new 3D-technology
developed by the university of Wahington, Microsoft and the NASA which
allows to generate 3D views from photos. -> Nice Demo

Here is the link:

wow! that was impressive!
Now if the could get all of the photos to show at the same time!
That would be mind blowing!

 

you are behind the times
I posted a link to a demo of this recently and mentioned it as
something SW could pick up on to navigate drawings and documents
you can try photosynth out - there is an activex and some content
there
its quite cool really although I got a bit lost at times )

 

That link was cool.

^ Here is another cool imaging project. It takes a 2d image and
recognizes sky, ground, and vertical surfaces, and then turns it into
a popup book. The professor doing the development gave a talk at my
college, and he used an example of a 2d amtrak train picture. He
suddenly pushed a button and the thing converted into a 3d popup world
and everyone was blown away.

You'll need a VRML viewer to see anything cool, but those are linked
from the page.
