Cool New Imaging and Social Technology

A while back while doing, I believe the SL poster, I remembered Paul talking about something involving a new program that lets people take a photo, and then take that photo, and see the rest of the photo without having to have taken it. Not following? For example, lets say I take a photo of the IST building. And in the corner of the photo, there is that sign that is in front of the IST building, only you can only see half, but you would like to see the rest of it. Well with Seadragon's new technology of Photosynth, you are able to see a full 360 degree of the area when all you provided was a single photo. With this new piece of technology, I am able to see the rest of the sign, and also down the road of pollock rd. Incredibly unbelievable right? Well, it's actually incredibly believable as it does work, and its zoom into photos is just like zooming in on a PDF on AdobeReader, which does not get blurry. In fact, seadragon's zoom is available in HD, which I think adds to the amazement that I have in this innovation in technology.
