Microsoft Live Labs Creates Web “Synth” For 3-D Photo Tour | Walter S. Mossberg | Personal Technology | AllThingsD: "This week, Microsoft Live Labs is releasing its first broad consumer Web service, called Photosynth. This service turns multiple photos of a scene or site — say, an art gallery or a building — into a 3-D scene you can virtually “walk” through on the Web."

Photosynth, based on technology Microsoft acquired in 2006, is entirely free, and it’s entirely based on the Web, at photosynth.net. At that site you can view not only your own synths, but the synths created by every other Photosynth user.
