One of the coolest technologies to come out of Microsoft lately is Photosynth. This is where they take multiple 2D photos that overlap, and their software will re-create the environment in a 3D world you can navigate around. They just released it to the public so you can create your own. I have been photosynthing with pictures in my collection, and am now attempting to re-create Disneyland, or at least parts of it with Photosynth. I spent a few hours taking over 2000 photos! Here is the Disneyland front entrance. I got it to 96% synthy so you can really navigate around 360 degrees! Try it here (PC only):
For my next trick I will do Main Street USA! Until then, Photosynth some of your own photos.
Update: There is now a website dedicated to Photosynthing Disney parks. You can even vote for your favorites. www.disneysynth.com
I recently added Cinderella's castle and hub at Disneyland. See if you can find the Fairy Godmother and time-capsule plaque! You can even zoom in to minute detail to read it all:
