It is impressive. But, I have to wonder: what does this get you above-and-beyond taking a short video of an object, and then allowing the view to "scrub" back and forth within the video?

I imagine there could eventually be better interactivity with the underlying 3D model than video could provide. Certain surfaces could be links to more information or another photosynth, for example. It kind of reminds me of some of the VRML demos from the 90s, but without the plugins and working backwards from photos instead of forward from models.

#16Does it still require Silverlight?

#17A nice reminder that Microsoft really does have some great engineering talent and they can break new ground.

#19Glad to see they're still working on this. I remember seeing a demo of this some years back and being really impressed. A nice reminder that Microsoft really does have some great engineering talent and they can break new ground.
