Microsoft - photochop for landscapes...

I was looking around for some stuff to do with mapping... now Mr. Bill has made it easy for us all to fake and stitch and modify even very graphically complex objects. Photosynth - goes operational soon and will be demonstrated at SIGGRAPH in Bean Town... home of the best (Ok, my fav US shinny team Da, Bears and the BigDig) those with an interest may wish to check this New Scientist link.

Cool! This'll be great for game design and cg in movies.

Now all we need are affordable Volumetric Displays.

Game design, cgi, map making.... and television productions that'll make the difference between "Live" or "Memorex" ("real" vs "I did this") indistinguishable... to all but the few, just plop your news anchor in and whatever scene is required can be synthesized by one (not a team of Maya aces or 3D Max 9 whizzes) person... less-than or more-than or different-from reality is easily doable. This may have unintended and intended consequences - use your imagination.
