Photosynth is one of the products of Microsoft’s Live Labs, a home for experimental projects. Photosynth is an amazing new service that completely changes the way you look at images. Photosynth creates a whole new way of looking at images that goes beyond panoramas. It allows you to share the places and things you love using the cinematic quality of a movie, the control of a video game, and the mind-blowing detail of the real world.

By uploading groups of images, the software stitches them together into 3D “Synths” that you can explore in near virtual reality. With nothing more than a bunch of photos, Photosynth creates an amazing new experience. While the current release requires installation of a program, future releases may only require a Silverlight plugin. You can see it in action on an episode of CSI.
