More on the future of digital pics...

Kodak's video about the future of digital photography talked a good game. And I think they are on to something....Today, I previewed Microsoft's foray into this field. It's called Photosynth (not publicly available, but you can see demo), but bookmark the page.

I took 13 pics of a canyon in Utah and the software figured out exactly where they overlapped to create a complete view of the canyon. This, despite the fact that the pictures were taken at different angles. Whoa!

The digital revolution is still only in its infancy. Kodak's vision about what will happen seems like it's on the money. Glad to see that MS is taking this seriously.
