Photosynth Leaves Beta
Written by Thursday Bram on August 21st, 2008 | 1 Comment
As of this morning, Microsoft’s Live Labs project, Photosynth, is out of beta. The application / browser plugin combination allows you to stitch standard photos into 3-D panoramas.
Currently, Photosynth is Windows only — if you aren’t a Windows XP or Vista user, you’ll have to wait to get your photo-stitching fix. Photosynth uses a desktop application for creating your own ’synths,’ and a browser plugin to see them online, if you choose to upload your work. All synths are public.
I’d recommend trying out Photosynth with only a few photos at first — it can take quite a bit of time to build a complex synth, though the end result is worth it.
We covered a new Photosynth demo at the beginning of the month.
