People often ask me what happened to Photosynth!

Well it’s still live on the Live Labs Site and new synths are being added all the time.

The above is just one application of the technology which was used in an episode of CSI New York.

Check out also the technology being used at the Hard Rock Cafe and Renault!

At adChamps this year we had Marc Holmes come and demo some of the new emerging technologies Microsoft are working on.

Everyone should have heard of Photosynth by now and Microsoft Surface, but just see what developers can do when they take a week off and drink a lot of coffee!!

Steve Clayton, self-confessed Geek In Disguise, picked this up from one of his Twitter followers.

Follow Steve – I rarely get to this stuff before he does!

PS: Yes – There really are people in the US called Chuck!

At the Live Search Symposium a couple of weeks ago questions about where Photosynth had gone were plentiful. I guess the fact we’d made a noise about it 18 months ago and folks haven’t seen anything since has made people think it’s not going to happen.

Far from it!!

As you can see from the Hard Rock Cafe Memorabilia site, the technology has been combined with Silverlight to showcase bits and pieces from the bygone age of rock, making it super-easy to navigate the pieces and read associated trivia and history about them.

Here I’m using mouse controls to zoom in on some gushing scribblings about Phil Spector that John Lennon wrote in a letter years back.

Closer…

Closer…

As the commentary says – "Perhaps Spector should’ve called this piece as a character witness at his murder trial!"
