Hi Frances,
This is absolutely astonishing. I have less than no idea how the system is
extrapolating the connections between completely different photos but the
range of potential applications in museums is enormous.
I was particularly interested in his use of hi-res images to embed 'hidden'
layers of additional information in the car advertisement. It would be
fascinating to consider ways in which museum object images could be enriched
in this way.
It's not often you get to see a bit of technology which is genuinely going
to change the way people behave, so this has really brightened up my day -
many thanks for sending it to the list!

I thought I would share this video regarding a new application that
(among other things) can stitch together similar images of a location
from flickr based on tags. Its really unbelievable.
