Digital photography is a new technology fad. Almost everyone’s getting crazy of having the most advance digital camera. It really makes taking photos very easy. Digital camera have brought about tons of photos which might not be possible before. I could not just imagine the time taken to make a perfect shot before as it’s very expensive to develop a photo. Now, times have changed everyone could easily capture precious moments in a breeze with digital camera.

Having lots of photos make you think of what could possibly be done with it. Well videos and photo slide shows are also another area of extension of the flat images from digital camera. It only show what could be done with flat images or photos when it’s processed by technology. These are creative ways of manipulating photos to recreate virtual reality.

Photosynth software is a new addition to the vast image manipulation tools available today. The software basically needs around 20 to 300 photos of an object or place to be processed depending on the size. The photos are not necessarily taken at the same time. Even if the images are from different camera, Photosynth will determine the relationship between the images and stitch them into a 3D model. The final output is similar to the PC video games that we play around. You can really have a virtual tour out of a series of images with detail and clarity as if your are really in the scene.

Yes, this is a Microsoft product so it runs basically on Windows XP or Vista. Versions for other platform are still planned. Photosynth works with DirectX 7 capable video cards together with Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 or much better browsers. The Photosynth software is provided free of charge by Microsoft. This is a truly amazing software. Why don’t you give it a spin? For more information visit: http://livelabs.com/photosynth/.
