Everyone bashes microsoft for being a big evil corporation but it looks like their finally investing in a labs setup that will rival googles \"neat\" stuff.

That is seriously cool technology. The amount of photo work needed is pretty staggering, but wow...

Man, what a small world! I happened across a gallery of photos of Vegas just last week that used this, or something very like it. Damned if I can find the site again though :flame:

The short of it is, that they\'ve got a tool that can stitch photos together in a (quasi) 3D environment. It allows you to navigate around the area that you took photos of.

I was really hoping that it would generate some 3D objects that you could manipulate, but it isn\'t there yet.
