I had a mess about with Photosynth today, Microsoft's new 3D image viewer software that stitches together all your shots into an interactive environment

I put this together quickly just as a tester for the software, this image only contains 14 images although it is recommended to take a few hundred for a good synth.

You may need to install a plugin for your browser to view the synth although it is just a small download for anyone using broadband.

Lately I have really been getting into photography, a quick glance at my flickr account demonstrates that. I have been trying to put together panoramic shots of some of the wonderful views we have here, but the static panorama shots just cannot compete with the power and versatility of Photsynth.

I shall continue with this experiment, be sure to check out my Photosynth user account page and see what else I can conjure up.

Today I took the plunge, today I viewed not to look back, only to look forward, today I installed Service Pack 3 for XP.

Is it any good? are there any improvements? has it broken my system? - these questions will all be answered in due time, actually it is still installing. I havent taken the full plunge though, I am installing it on my laptop running XP Pro, if this is a successfull experiment I may port it onto my main development machine, but we will see what happens first with the laptop.

Even although its been a busy week here I have still found time to surf around having a look at whats hot and keeping up with technology.
