Maps as Virtual Reality

February 15th, 2010

I’m not normally very excited about aug­mented reality apps. Typical use cases tend to go some­thing like: “So, if I point my iPhone camera at that Star­bucks, you’ll tell me that there’s a Star­bucks there? Awesome.

But the work the Pho­to­synth team has been doing since their acqui­si­tion by Microsoft is truly mind-​​blowing. I had to check my watch during this 8-​​minute TED talk by Blaise Aguera y Arcas to make sure that it was still 2010, not 2100.
