Photosynth

First, I want to thank Erik M. for sharing this amazing video with me.

Fast forward to the 3min mark to see a demo of this amazing software called Photosynth.

The basic idea is that the software takes a huge pile of ordinary photos about a subject (e.g. photos of Notre Dame from Flickr) and virtually stitches them together to form an interactive model of the subject.
