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.
