Photos transformed into 3D model (BBC)

Technology that transforms digital images into 3D models will be unveiled at a conference on Thursday.

Microsoft's Photosynth takes collections of images, analyses them for similarities, and then displays them in a reconstructed 3D space.

The system, to be previewed at a computer graphics meeting in Boston, will allow users to walk or fly through a scene to see photos from any angle.

Microsoft says Photosynth should be available for use later this year.

1. No, QTVR is not 3D

It's just wrapping a 360 degree, 2D image on the inside of a sphere.

This is completely different.
