  • I know you guys like to champion your "faster than real-time" method of harvesting 3D data from your imagery.

    But maybe if you spent more CPU cycles harvesting the data - the 3D data would be of a higher quality.

  • no, why do you ask?

  • Even those would be based on this sort of technology...gps isnt accurate enough to pinpoint you. Crowd-source generated point clouds of citys, howeveer, would be. As for contacts, I think people are overlooking side-projection. (imagine a little rod extending out from your ear, acting as both an earphone and projecting images straight into your retine....bipassing focusing issues completely)

  • No, the future will be GPS like arrows inserted in the display element of your contact lenses.

  • 1:14 SAAB 9-3 and SAAB 900 cabrio :-)

  • great

  • zajebiste :O

  • Very impressive. Looks rather photosynthy as others have pointed out....but this is far better as its applying it for a real, practical use, rather then just a social fancy photo thing. Of course, the harder task would be finding your way though a city avoiding the starbucks :P

  • is this using microsoft photosynth?

  • first!
