Photosynth
Photosynth, the brainchild of Blaise Aguera y Arcas, takes image interaction to a whole new level.
According to the website, "Photosynth takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next."
Here's Blaise giving his "Jaw-Dropping" demo at TED2007.
Imagine using this software along with Ken Han's multi-touch display. Wow. Add the rapidly increasing amount of photographic data of aerial photographers and Google Earth will become increasingly realistic and real-time. Another step towards hypermediation.
