Microsoft Live Labs Photosynth technology

Microsoft's Live Labs has introduced a new technology that synthesizes photos of a single destination from a variety of sources to provide an immersive experience for the user. Photo tagging is already a big part of Travel 2.0 and this technology has the potential to provide a travel shopper a true virtual experience of a destination by integrating photos taken by different people into a 3-D view of the location. By allowing travelers to experience a destination as part of the travel planning process, travel sites can utilize user generated content in a new way. I encourage you to check out the short video at http://labs.live.com/photosynth/video.html
