Gavin marked one of jwish's replies in Live Labs as useful. jwish replied to the question "Install, Install, Install. I keep trying, and it keeps asking me to do it again!". Gavin and 2 other people think it's one of the best replies.

I like that you can Geotag, and I think a clear next step is to be able to search through maps and view synths from there. Also, I really like being able to click on a tag and view other synths with the same tag, and that you have a commenting system. I think you could add more social-networking type features, like a notification when a friend adds a new synth. It would also be cool if you could link to a specific photo in a synth - basically, have that be the one initially in focus when opening the synth,
A fly-around feature would be cool. Controlling the speed of the slide show would sort of provide that.
Oh, and something small that I think would be pretty cool would be to have the interaction with the donut be slightly more fluid. for example, I like that if you're just viewing the pointcloud, you can twist the donut to the 'back side' where there are not pictures, but then when you let go, it springs you back. I think it would be cool if there was a mode where the donut kept spinning after you left go, depending on how fast you spun it (vs how currently it just snaps to whatever photo you are on when you release it).
And lastly, thanks for the awesome site!

I was looking in the past for this kind of features in Blender3D. But linking photo's together by manual placements. A human picks the points that matches of different photos and the photos get aligned by it.
Now If there is perfect alignment it must be possible to generate a 3D space from it better than doing the complete process automatically.

Assisted synth - being able to manually help the program to synth some of the photos that were left out. – lastglacier, on August 22, 2008 17:16

Since it's largely web-based anyhow, the abilty to view photosyths directly through the web browser without the need to install any special software on the viewing computer... Most workplace computers require "an administrator" (or someone with "administrator privileges") to be able to install anything - meaning photosynths can't be viewed on most computers in a workplace environment... OTOH, if the program were entirely (rather than just mostly) web-based...

I agree - that's the real power of photosynth. – AnkurJ, on August 22, 2008 16:53

or at least helping the synth by pointing about connections that it might skipped. – tweeto, on August 22, 2008 16:37

P toggles the points/pics/both.
There supposedly is a rotation control, but I can't find it.
I agree with the other ideas. – JackH, on August 22, 2008 16:12

There is an instructional video showing about that, but the background in that video is very white. – JackH, on August 22, 2008 16:07

The ability to specify that a given subset of pics are to be used for the 3d stitching, but will not end up as part of the finished gallery. This helps with making the scene more "synthy", but not overload the end viewer with too many overlapping shots or maybe lower quality pics. Also the ability to trim out 3d groups or disconnected pics - I walked around my house, shot lots of pics and synthed them all, then found that while there were some nice spots, there were a few unimpressive groups and a bunch of disconnected pics. Those should have been easy to delete since they didn't contribute much anyway.

You need to do the right thing and open source it. The community would then do the porting to other platforms like linux, mac, bsd, etc. You also need to give a guarantee that you will not pull any patent nonsense.
Great technology shame that microsoft are in charge of it. Imagine how much more progress this would have made if it was open from the start.
I can dream.
