Here, Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos new augmented-reality mapping technology from Microsoft. The video shows a vastly powerful piece of software capable of taking a wide variety of images, analyzing them for similarities, and grafting them together into an interactive three-dimensional space. This seamless patchwork of images can be viewed via multiple angles and magnifications, allowing us to look around corners or “fly” in for a (much) closer look. Simply put, it could utterly transform the way we experience digital images.
The possibilities with this are endless. It’s interesting how it looks like Google now has to play catch-up to Microsoft. Keep an eye out for things to come!
If you haven’t already seen it, I urge you to watch it. In fact, if you have already seen it, I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up watching it again!
It‘s quite in here! Why not leave a response?
