Some cool geekery going on at Microsoft Live Labs – they have developed an application called Photosynth which builds a 3D virtual world out of linked still photographs – if anyone has seen the Michel Gondry video for LIKE A ROLLING STONE, you’ll know what I mean.
The idea of integrating personal images with those of other people is pretty far out. I can imagine re-animating vague memories of places like the Ramblas in Barcelona with a LIKE A ROLLING STONE type montage containing thousands of images taken by backpackers from Tuscon to Tokyo… Wow.
