Photosynth

Photosynth creates dots of perspectives, Point Cloud, which on screen makes the Berlin Wall look like a galaxy. You can vaguely see the Wall at Bernauer Straße and the trees behind it too.


"Creating hyperlinks between images" is one of the features of Photosynth (Aguera y Arcas, 2007) and it can build a 3D space from shared photographic images online. The image/space below was created from photos taken at Checkpoint Charlie.


And you can also select Images, to have the photos that are synthesized, appear in rows.
