Let’s take an example. I am going to use my photo for the lack of other photos. Please bear with the really non photogenic me and it would be fantastic if you would want to try this with your photos and boast about your significance to your friends. These are just a few of the many templates available. The first photo is my original photo and others are all generated using the service photofunia.

Let us take a quick glimpse into the some of the templates available.

Have fun with photos of yourself, friends and family members!

The product is based on its most talked about and popular research projects in the field of photography.

This product creates a panoramic 3D view of an image by synchronizing multiple images. This technology is also known as Photo Tourism. 

it could just be the start of what we call computational photography techniques making its way to the main stream media in a form of a product.

To see the best results of this technology, one should take a lot of pictures of the same or surrounding view from as many angles as possible. Also, Microsoft suggests that this product be used with IE 7 and above or FireFox 3 and above.  Once these pictures are uploaded into Photosynth, it creates a picture which can we viewed at different angles and distance.

This is certainly one of the best products out there on the internet as a result of Microsoft research projects.

Kyolo is one such service. I haven’t explored other similar services (if any), but this one is pretty easy to use. So I am not going to explore the features. Just to give you feel of the features following is the screenshot.

To give you a feel of what this service can do, I tried adding bubbles to a couple of pictures I took. You might want to sign up for the service because it’s free!
