As the site is down I can't see this in action but the video seems to suggest you have to upload your pics? If so then that would take months based on a decent res & multiple pics. If not then the video is confusing!
Looks very impressive, shame the server's down.
No tried downloading or using it yet but so hope the server is back up and running soon!
Had heard about this ages ago and so wanted to use it. I was almost bouncing off the walls when I heard you can use!:)
Can't wait to try it out now.
The site works for me: http://photosynth.net/Default.aspx
it has to be said this is amazing.
What i find intresting too is that this isn't just built aloft Avalon, requiring vista WPF/silverlight....
How big are decent-sized pictures these days? Assuming a file size of 5Mb, and the 300 maximum mentioned in the article, that is (only!) 1.5Gb. Unless you're one of those people with limited bandwidth broadband, or not in an area with cable (non-cabled areas are becoming less and less common), it's not an unmanageable size. I get about 7meg/s upload with my 20meg cable package, which would work out at less than half an hour uploading.Quote:

ADSL is normally what 200-700Kbps? not 7meg up like yours, you're just lucky you get decent speed on an unlimited cable connection. I'd imagine the majority of other people in this country aren't in any of those brackets. I don't even want to think how long it take me to upload 1.5gig.
EDIT: Ok, I do want to know, at a generous 768kbps (87.66KB/s) its just under 5 hours. http://www.dslzoneuk.net/calculator.php
5MB is way too large for online pictures. I had a quick look on the site it's pretty impressive how it's done but the quality of the pictures I looked through weren't very high, I only had a quick look through but I'll leave it a few months too see how people get on with the service before I try my own synth.Quote:

Virgin is 20Mb download and 768k upload.
According to www.speedtest.net, using London as a server; speeds do vary though during the day and depending which server you use.Quote:
