I’m really interested to see how CNN’s The Moment project will generate. “The Moment” will use a technology called PhotoSynth to generate a virtual 3D ‘photo’ of the venue of Barack Obama’s inauguration as President, generated from the photos that people take there that day. It’s a cool technology, and I hope lots of people send in their photos so it will be rich with content. Check out PhotoSynth here (Windows only unfortunately)
