Photosynth not only lets you share a photo, it lets you share multiple photos in order to create a fantastic 3d experience. Visit Pennsylvania, Venice, St. Petersburg, or your friends dorm room with more than a simple flat experience. With the scenes Photosynth creates, you can explore the scene in a way you’ve never done before.

How does Photosynth work?

Photosynth has the ability to reconstruct a a scene from multiple photographs with the help from the field of computer vision. It constructs the scenary examining the similarities of objects and shapes in the photographs to create an immersive experience.

Upon installing the plugin (8mb) for your browser, you are greeted with a picture and a navigation panel. Simply click either left, right, up, or down and you’ll be taken to the next picture in scene. It doesn’t take a long time to load so it feels you are having a virtual tour. A description is to the right of the picture so you’ll know a little more about the scene.
