In case you missed it, here's a Java applet for playing around with this idea. Unlike the photosynth demo from Microsoft, this one works with firefox.
Yes, I'm fascinated by this idea. It could very well result in the most imaginative product to ever come out of Microsoft. It rivals the ESP Game in cleverness.
But can we take this idea further? For example, what can we do with video? Maybe we could put together many people's videos to produce a dynamic 3d world? One could imagine allowing people to watch and explore events in 3d such as concerts and sports games.
Another idea is to identify dense areas in 3d where people tend to take a lot of photographs. One could then use these dense areas to guide people to interesting places. For example, when visiting a museum, one might look at the dense areas first.
If you have other ideas, I would like to hear them. Comments were rare in CleverCS. I hope more people will provide feedback in this blog.
