Submitted by Martin on Fri, 05/30/2008 - 10:29.I was amazed when I first saw this as it combined two main technologies, one being their Seadragon image zooming and the other a technology that literally analyses and stitches together images in to a 3D space (no not the Quicktime equivalent).
For me though the future link is when they line up the idea of dynamically pulling semantic content from Flickr, because the content is already tagged, its a no-brainer to see how humanity could document the world through images.
The exciting part is linking this back to broader content through the existing semantic connections already created.

Submitted by Martin on Fri, 05/30/2008 - 09:50.Multi Touch screens have been around for sometime now, although the majority of people have not seen this yet, in Europe they are already part of the furniture of bars and clubs.
The cost is already down significantly to make this a real technology to change our lives on an interesting level. Both for fun but of course we have all seen minority report and how it can be put to serious use (and I don't mean predicting the future).
