Microsoft Live Labs has made public Photosynth it's 3d photo stitching technology that now allows you to create and view immersive 3d photo spaces. "Photosynth takes a collection of regular photographs and reconstructs the scene or object in a 3-D environment. " according to the official Photosynth blog. To create or view photosynths you will be required to download the software but the requirements to run are reasonable, creating your own requires a Photosynth account. Microsoft is giving registered users 20GB of online storage for their Photosynth collections. This, according to CNet writer Josh Lowensohn "can easily fit 60 or more "synths" made up of around 150 to 200 photographs apiece"
