:I love the comment you get when you try to install the Photosynth software whilst under OSX:

Unfortunately, we’re not cool enough to run on your OS yet. We really wish we had a version of Photosynth that worked cross platform, but for now it only runs on Windows.

Trust us, as soon as we have a Mac version ready, it will be up and available on our site.

@Ryan:
Scoble had a situation like that in his model of his living room.

I think Photosynth makes for an interesting casual game of the “Where’s Waldo?” variety–put something only in one image, buried somewhere in the “synth.” Give points to whomever finds it first in an online gaming community/groups. Could be quite fun!

I think the purpose of Photosynth is the reverse of this; map out an area to make a level in a video game. At least that is what I would do.

I am writing a post on this at my blog too… I plan on requesting some features from the Photosynth team.

Photosynth has a lot of potential. That is just cool!

Psh, everyone knows that 2fort is the worst official map in TF2, but I suppose Dustbowl would be a bit wide for this.

(Really though, it looks very cool – it’s just a pity that Photosynth doesn’t support Opera.)
