ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft is shipping a Firefox plug-in version of its Photosynth 3D photo processing software technology preview.
First demonstrated last year, Photosynth takes a large collection of photos of a place or object, analyzes them for similarities, and displays them in a reconstructed 3-dimensional space. Up until now, however, it was a Microsoft Internet Explorer-only browser application.
"After we released the technology preview in November we saw a number of requests for a version that would work in Firefox," Adam Sheppard, group product manager for Live Labs said in a blog post this week. "Live Labs is committed to making our technologies available to the widest possible audience, and today we're happy to announce the availability of the Photosynth Firefox plugin.
