And, of course, I'll upvote it because I wanted it here

Some info:
This is a talk from TED in March of 2007 by Blaise Aguera y Arcas of Microsoft.

Some of you may well have seen Microsoft Labs' Photosynth before (you can actually play with it here: http://labs.live.com/photosynth/), which links together disparate photos by way of their actual visual content, and presents them in a 3D space built from the photo's content.

What I hadn't seen is a demo of the image/information scaling technology called Seadragon which powers the presentation side of Photosynth. It's very impressive. The whole thing is rather exciting for what could be done with it.

rasch187 has fixed this video's dead embed code - no Power Points awarded because rasch187's points are already fully charged.
