Photosynth Demo

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the wow-just-wow dept.

A couple of days ago Microsoft labs released a demo of their new Photosynth software on the web. Photosynth allows the aggregation of social picture networks (a la Flickr) into a completed image in addition to allowing a level of depth to image browsing previously unavailable. There is also a very impressive video of the demo available.

    'cause that link is an annoying ad.

    I closed the window when it got to "this has never been shown to the public" or some such piece of hype.

      Then you closed the window about 10 seconds before the demo started. Keep watching. Well, I figured there was content after the stupid intro, but seeing how much production value was in the intro, I can't trust the content, there's probably as much production value in it's presentation as there was in it's introduction.

      Is there any real demo, not a slick marketing SFX presentation of what the product would be in a magical world where stuff works like they'd want us to think it works?

    Can we get an editor who doesn't post/write press releases too? We're geeks, we know about blogs, you can't bullshit us with your PR so quit trying.

    It's insulting when an article like this appears and SCREAMS "We were paid for it".

    Either write like a human being or stop trying to impress us, because you can't do both.

    I can't send on music I get from Microsoft (DRM) to friends, but they can use my photos to beter their online content? Gosh, that does not seem fair. Can I buy a "Microsoft Rocks!" tee shirt for $100 too?

    You complain about Microsoft's acquisitions, and then later mention Google?

    He only mentions them as a company that wont beat them.

    As a suggestion, you should maybe try comprehending what was written, rather than getting all pissy from one key word you picked out.
