There is a new generation of
Photosynth (Microsoft) with 3D image technology. The software application generates a three-dimensional model of the photos and a point cloud of a photographed object.
The prior two versions of Microsoft Photosynth, which offer the
original synths and stitched panoramas, are still available on the main
Photosynth website.
Meanwhile, the updated technology
now supports four basic experiences: “spin,” “panorama,” “walk” and
“wall” - see Synth types bellow. As their respective names describe, each offers a different kind
of 3D image viewing experience – a spin around an object as small as a
teacup or as large as a glacial peak, Microsoft explains, a panoramic
view, a walk – like down a path through the woods, for example – or a
slide across a scene.
