Useless technology that looks pretty.
Technology
that zooms in pictures?! WOW I NEVER THOUGHT OF TH

to do it.
What a joke.

GoogleEarth? You actually can not see how differen
t and what an amazing leap beyong Google Earth thi
s is?.... That's like comparing the maps that they
give out at AAA to Google Earth and asking what t
he difference is. Wow!! And "useless technolo
gy"? What rock are you people hiding under. W
hat that man just showed you has far reaching impl
ication than just a cool way to look up your house
or your vacation photos from the lake last summer
. For the rest of us that see what these guys are
unlocking I say WOW!!!! I look forward to seeing w
here this insight and jump in technology has taken
us in 5 years.

it's not useless atall...we'll have to think of so
mething to do with it but no doubt it will be very
handy. OK you're prob right about need 20gb of RA
M to run it but hey, noone even knew what a gigaby
te was, like 5 years ago. Now cellphones are comin
g with gigs of memory as standard.

I think you misspelled
"acquired."
MS never invents anything..
. and this, not surprisingly, is no exception. The
y just bought it from someone else.

It's a totally new technology. The guy searched Fl
ickr for "Notre Dame" and the program CR
EATED a 3D image of the church by composing the p
ictures that referred to Notre Dame. It took 2D pi
ctures taken from hundreds or thousands of angles
with DSLRs or phone cameras and it created a virtu
al image. One can navigate through the virtual 3D
image composed from pictures taken with diffrent p
urposes. Nevertheless, the program identified all
the angles the pictures were taken from. It's amaz
ing. No comparison with... anything!

Do yo

ur statement didn't hurt microsoft at all...but it
did your kind.
I'm sure you'd be so screaming

is for morons.
The capabilities presented have
implications far exceeding the width and breath of
this display.
I like the idea of "turtle
s all the way down". The user interface would
be astounding; the intercontextualization of data
in such a manner would serve as an incredible lea
rning tool. The regression may not be infinite, bu
t it is a damned good start.
Great user interfa
ces allow for quicker, more accurate access to dat
a. For some people, this is the purpose of virtual
environments. For others it's porn, three hundred
spoofs and pretend communities. For everyone els
e, this is a godsend.

Wow, use it for porn. I love that idea!!!
Serio
usly though, this is bloody amazing, and the uses
are endless. Comparing to Google Earth?? Nothing l
ike it, nothing. This has far greater potential.

you can chec out the tehnologie at http://labs.liv

does not need 20g I have 640mb of RAM and it works
just fine.. 1gb is optimum..
Tehnologie is gre

Looks to me like it was made by simply ripping off

why should it need 20 gb ram?
the site says its j

It follo
ws the same idea, but it doesn't stop at simply re
implementing those other examples you close-minded
douchebags have pointed out, it's more than just
zooming in and out real fast. I say being able to
generate spatial and 3-D models entirely out of pi
ctures is very impressive, but you probably trolle
d too early to notice that.
Unless you've alway
s been living under the rock of fanboyism, Microso
ft actually sponsors college competitions to encou
rage students to come up with and demonstrate prom
ising new technologies. It's not much different fr
om Google's Summer of Code.

What's Google Earth got to do with this technology
?
There's a zoom option in both?

Wait! Maybe Google Earth stole the Idea from
windows 3.11 "Paint" software!

Google earth= A bunch of satellite images being la
yered over a 3D sphere to create a map.
This=A
bunch of images you can search the internet for to
create a 3D model and environment.
Also he CLE
ARLY explains why you will NOT need to have 20GB o
f ram because seadragon only renders the pixels on
the screen that you will need. It uses less memor
y than photoshop. Not to mention even if it did us
e a large amount of ram, by the time it was finish
ed the hardware will have easily caught up with th
e software.
Do people seriously go on the inter
net and pretend to know things?

The people who said this is no different than Goog
le Earth clearly didn\'t watch the whole video (or
are just morons). Google Earth is just an interac
tive map created by patching together images of ad
jacent areas on Earth. The technology described in
this video can actually interpret the visual info
rmation in any digital image, regardless of the so
urce. It can autonomously construct a 3-dimensiona
l model of an object by intelligently interpreting
and combining the spatial information from a numb
er of otherwise unrelated photographs of that obje
ct. Do these people really not understand the diff
erence or are they just trying to be incendiary?
