My 3D Photo Synth Featured by Microsoft
I just noticed that along with a new release of their web software the Microsoft Live Labs team behind Photosynth selected My Lalibela, Ethiopia collection of photos as one of their top 20 featured sets on the
Photosynth Front Page. For now the PhotoSynth web applet works best from Internet Explorer although they just released a beta version of a cross browser viewer called Silverlight. From the front page, scroll left or right until you see the cross-shaped monastery from Lalibela (same photos as in this post) and click Go, or jump right to the collection with the first link. If you have not already installed the web software it will request that you do so (it is Microsoft product so signed and safe).
If you have a Mac you can try the experimental browser Here. Go Here to read about the update and Silverlight cross-browser beta release. I have not tried it but it seems to be working, though at a lower level of functionality than in IE.
To see all ten or so of my Photo Synths (3D viewing collections), go Here.

I missed it but my other Synth of Tikal Templo I was featured on the PhotoSynth Home page for the week of September 11, 2009. See above link to my Synths.
