This looks awesome, by using photographs from the web, it's now possible to construct three dimensional images to explore, please check out the video below...

Looks pretty good.

 

The way he grouped similar images on that screen, with a big one in the middle and then loads more smaller ones around the outside (not the 3D, but when he was browsing similar images), that looks very much like a type of image search designed by an Imperial College London student, I had a whole lecture on it.

 

It is a search engine which displays the most relevant links largest and in the center, with less relevant results displayed smaller and spiralling around the outside. The further from the center, the less relevant.

 

And rather than using keywords it actually deduces information from looking at the pixels. It can differentiate a blue door from a red one. The sea from the sky. It recognises sunsets, deserts, oceans, trees, grass and flowers etc. just from the pixels. It's a very clever system.

Cool!

Does it remind anybody else of this?
