That said, I think that Quicktime VR views (or, say, Google's street view panoramas) tend to give a better, easier-to-navigate representation of the view from a single spot. But Photosynth has two major advantages over it: 1) Ability to fly around in 3D--see the point cloud, click to pictures from any angle 2) Easier to implement--can just use regular photos, works as a photo navigator as well as a place navigator I think it'd be cool if Photosynth were able to display more than one photo at once. Maybe show the one photo you've clicked on, and then just a couple adjacent photos. All at once wouldn't work very well. But rollover previews--which are semi-implemented but hidden at the moment--could also be really nice. Photosynth is very nifty.

I'll try not to submit photo's from inside my house... Yeah, and potential thieves will love being able to case the joint with internal house walk-throughs too!

But I believe it is very complex to automatically analyse those pictures, so it may take a while until we have the whole world liked together via photos.
