Microsoft unveils new photo tool to the public!

By Brian Langhorst

Photosynth is one of the latest projects from Microsoft to come out of their Live Labs group and development business.

This unique program will take photos that you specify from your camera or computer desktop and find the similarities in each photo and create a visual presentation piecing these photos together. It might be hard to see what the big deal is based on this short description, but I encourage you to visit the Photosynth site and you will better understand just how fascinating this new tool is.

I feel this tool will be great for luxury real estate agent and brokerages. How many times have homebuyers or sellers commented that photos do not properly capture a unique or special high-end listing? This new tool from Microsoft could be a great way to create more eye-catching presentations to allow potential buyers to see the luxury property in its true form.

Our team here will be sure to continue to present our members with the most innovative tools and opportunities, such as Photosynth, for their business.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback on this new tool!

    This is a great tool to consider using for showcasing properties. Imagine showing your clients 360 degree views of properties, homes, specific rooms, etc.

    It seems to be a very good tool. I have not tried it yet but surely this will give a good time to enjoy creating beautiful photos.

    It's a cool tool. It's very similar to the service provided by panoramio.com. Check out this example: http://nv0.panoramio.com/navigate.php?id=37552 The difference is that Panoramio works in all browsers on all platforms, as opposed to Photosynth that only runs on Windows.
