Microsoft Labs' Photosynth software wowed many people last year with its ability to automatically matching sets photos into a 3D space. There was a great demo showing Notre Dame, based on photos pulled in from Flickr.
Last week they released a browser plugin on Photosynth.net which allows you to try it out with your own sets of photos.
I've got plenty of sets of source panorama photos which nicely line up because they were taken with a panoramic tripod head, but I wanted to try it out with something a bit more challenging - a set of shots taken handheld from a few different spots with a compact camera.
I had a set from our trip to Australia last year - it's done quite a good job of linking them together, even if the distortion correction doesn't seem to be quite perfect.
To view it, you need to download and install the Photosynth plugin, which is currently Windows only.
