| How is this even similar to Google Earth? Why would you say that? |

| Useless technology that looks pretty.
Technology that zooms in pictures?! WOW I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT! Disregard that you'll need about 20Gbs of RAM to do it.
What a joke. |

| GoogleEarth? You actually can not see how different and what an amazing leap beyong Google Earth this is?.... That's like comparing the maps that they give out at AAA to Google Earth and asking what the difference is. Wow!! And "useless technology"? What rock are you people hiding under. What that man just showed you has far reaching implication than just a cool way to look up your house or your vacation photos from the lake last summer. For the rest of us that see what these guys are unlocking I say WOW!!!! I look forward to seeing where this insight and jump in technology has taken us in 5 years. |

| it's not useless atall...we'll have to think of something to do with it but no doubt it will be very handy. OK you're prob right about need 20gb of RAM to run it but hey, noone even knew what a gigabyte was, like 5 years ago. Now cellphones are coming with gigs of memory as standard. |

I think you misspelled "acquired."
MS never invents anything... and this, not surprisingly, is no exception. They just bought it from someone else. |

| It's a totally new technology. The guy searched Flickr for "Notre Dame" and the program CREATED a 3D image of the church by composing the pictures that referred to Notre Dame. It took 2D pictures taken from hundreds or thousands of angles with DSLRs or phone cameras and it created a virtual image. One can navigate through the virtual 3D image composed from pictures taken with diffrent purposes. Nevertheless, the program identified all the angles the pictures were taken from. It's amazing. No comparison with... anything! |

| To put it simple for all of you haters. If microsoft aquired them they must have something worth a damn! Impressive! |

| 20GB of RAM? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure what makes seadragon revolutionary is not need that, being able to handle it using current day technology |

Do you understand how damaging this statement to your persona did? Makes you an unreasonable fanboy. Your statement didn't hurt microsoft at all...but it did your kind.
I'm sure you'd be so screaming like a 17 year old girl if this was made by Apple or somebody else.
Tsk tsk....some people. |

| is for morons.
The capabilities presented have implications far exceeding the width and breath of this display.
I like the idea of "turtles all the way down". The user interface would be astounding; the intercontextualization of data in such a manner would serve as an incredible learning tool. The regression may not be infinite, but it is a damned good start.
Great user interfaces allow for quicker, more accurate access to data. For some people, this is the purpose of virtual environments. For others it's porn, three hundred spoofs and pretend communities. For everyone else, this is a godsend. |

| Wow, use it for porn. I love that idea!!!
Seriously though, this is bloody amazing, and the uses are endless. Comparing to Google Earth?? Nothing like it, nothing. This has far greater potential. |

| you can chec out the tehnologie at http://labs.live.com/photosynth/view you will figure out that it does not need 20g I have 640mb of RAM and it works just fine.. 1gb is optimum..
Tehnologie is great and it has much more then any of you even mentioned.. metadata? |

| Looks to me like it was made by simply ripping off Jef Raskin's "Zooming User Interface" or ZUI. C dragon? No this is ZUI...
See what I mean here...
Raskin's ZUI demo:
http://rchi.raskincenter.org/demos/zoomdemo.swf
More about Jef Raskin here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jef_Raskin
So many people cannot think of original ideas so they just steal. |

| why should it need 20 gb ram?
the site says its just 1 gb.
and it looks very impressive |
