Oh, and I see that at last you can get the app, last time I looked you could only play with what they'd put together. Fantastic! Incidentally, for something a bit less mind-blowing but still a nice way of getting something more immersive from plain pictures, have a look at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dhoiem/projects/popup/index.html. Again, you can get the app there and try it yourself. Cheers, Jeremy Jeremy Ottevanger Web Developer, Museum Systems Team Museum of London Group 46 Eagle Wharf Road London.

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!
