Having found this last week I have to say I am amazed. The “Sea Dragon” technology can not only sort your pictures and let you view thousands of them at once, it can also analyse them for constants and tag photos together. If you check out the youtube demo above, especially the example mentioning Notre Dame Cathedral. Basically summed up, the software has trawled through social sites on the net (for example Flickr), found all of the images of Notre Dame, rendered them together and then from this created a 3d model from this. Hopefully this could be the beginning of the end for hours spent tagging photos on facebook at the very least. Perhaps further forward this could be used in a more commercial way however, imagine at a click being able to find every picture online with a Coca-Cola advert in it. A standard facebook picture could become a clickable link to an online website, with rich media for a viewer to get right at information on the brand straight from the image.
