- kulkarnic 17y agoActually, this is Photosynth (rather both use th same base tech.) In fact, city-wide synthing has been possible for some time now- the crux is matching up the photos fast enough, which has now been reduced to a day (for 1M photos). For the interested, fast (real-time) matching of video streams was also demoed at TechFest some year or so ago. I'm pretty sure there's a video about it somewhere, possibly at TechCrunch.
- snprbob86 17y agoAccording to the article "the team previously developed tools which can create 3D models from a collection of photos, which subsequently evolved into Microsoft’s Photosynth." I can not wait to see the evolution of this stuff, especially from Bing and Google maps, in the coming years.
