 [This is an amazing demo and talk (as are most talks at TED) demonstrating
the power of participative web through mashups of pictures across the
Internet. It is clear demonstration of the network effect and visual
semantic web --BSA]

Using photos of oft-snapped subjects (like Notre Dame) scraped from around
the Web, Photosynth (based on Seadragon technology) creates breathtaking
multidimensional spaces with zoom and navigation features that outstrip all
expectation. Its architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, shows it off in this
standing-ovation demo. Curious about that speck in corner? Dive into a
freefall and watch as the speck becomes a gargoyle. With an unpleasant
grimace. And an ant-sized chip in its lower left molar. "Perhaps the most
amazing demo I've seen this year," wrote Ethan Zuckerman, after TED2007.
Indeed, Photosynth might utterly transform the way we manipulate and
experience digital images.
