Back in July we posted about Photosynth a new Microsoft technology that can analyse a large number of photos of a single place or object and then display them in a reconstructed three dimensional space (Click here to see July post). Well Photosynth is now available for you to try out with your own photos and the best part is it’s free.

What’s great about Photosynth is it allows you to move through a scene, going where you want to go, and seeing photo’s from each view point as if you where actually there. It also has smooth digital rendering and zoom capabilities, which makes you feel like you’re really there and just moving closer to the object.

Once you have uploaded your photos and created a ’synth’ you can share it with others by sending them the link to it, or by embedding the synth in your own website. Those that want to view synths have to download a browser plug in before it will work.

The Photosynth site is still new and so it still has a few limitations. All synths you create will be public so any one on the net will be able to see them and they will only run well on XP or Vista PC’s.

If you would like to see a synth we created of our reception area click here (note you will have to download the Photosynth browser plug in to see it).
