Photosynth Technology
Microsoft research continues to working on applications for its imaging technology Photosynth. http://labs.live.com/photosynth/
This technology can pull together multiple images, from multiple points of view, to create a whole. The “World Telescope” takes this to an extreme.

There is another element of this technology that means we will be seeing it in the mobile and embedded’ world. Photosynth not only synthesizes a greater whole, Photosynth summarizes any portion of the data to the degree required by the display device. Photosynth only burdens the ‘viewport’ with as much detail as it needs. Therefore, it is fast, really really fast, and compute efficient. So, for a personal navigation screen, a PDA or cell phone, can zoom in forever if it wants, to the limit of the data resolution on the server.
