A very impressive presentation of two pieces of amazing technology by Blaise Aguera y Arcas speaking at TED. A must watch. If MS handled it right and it was embraced in the same way as Flash, the ramifications of a resolution independent system to how people view / interact with digital content is incredible. His photosynth tech is also jaw dropping.
His realization of mapping the earth with people’s photography is fantastic, like he suggests, this might upset some possessive photographers and lawyers!
Rather clever fellow!
