What is Photosynth?

Photosynth takes your photos, mashes them together and recreates a 3D scene out of them that anyone can view and move around in.

Different than static photos and video, Photosynth allows you to explore details of places, objects, and events unlike any other media. You can’t stop video, move around and zoom in to check out the smallest details, but with Photosynth you can. And you can’t look at a photo gallery and immediately see the spatial relation between the photos, but with Photosynth you can.

Whether it’s a quiet creek in the woods of Pennsylvania, or the grandeur of the interior of St Paul’s cathedral, Photosynth puts you there like nothing else can.

It can capture the sweeping scale of a mile of the Grand Canal in Venice, and focus in on the exquisite rot at the waterline of a beautifully decaying palazzo doorway.

And it’s not just for spaces and places. Photosynth is an amazing way to share the full juicy details of the stuff in your life.

To learn even more, we have plenty of details on the background of Photosynth.

News Alert! Photosynth now embraces stitched panoramas. Using the Microsoft Image Composite Editor, partial and full panoramas can be uploaded to the Photosynth website. For more info check our Create page.
