Photosynth
National Geographic is partnering with Microsoft Live Labs to create rich, three-dimensional images of
global landmarks such as Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, and the Parthenon. The software looks for and analyzes similarities in a large collection of photos (of a place or an object), then stitches them together—letting you immerse yourself in the space.
