TED Talks: The Metaverse of Imagery is About to Merge
Seadragon is a program which allows massive amounts of image data to be viewed and organized in whatever way desired. This allows one to view a virtually unlimited amount of visual data including images and text.
The Photosynth software, powered by Seadragon, has the capability to pull together a large collection of photos taken of a certain place. The photos can be spatially related to one another based upon the metadata and graphical analysis. The demo shows a view of the Notre Dame Cathedral that was created by thousands of photos scraped from Flickr.
