Microsoft’s Live Labs project Photosynth, an application (and a browser plugin) that lets you stitch standard photos into a 3D panorama style virtual experience, has been around for a while, gaining major attention when it made Scoble cry. We’ve written about it in the past several times, and yes: it really is a nifty app and one of those rare cool things to come out of Microsoft.

Tonight, Photosynth went public. If you’re a proud Windows XP or Vista user, you’re in for a treat; if not, you’ll have to wait a while longer. It consists of a desktop application for creating your own synths and a browser plugin for viewing them online. You can upload your own creations or see those of other users, however have in mind that all synths are public. Privacy, once again, was not a top priority for Microsoft. Also, have in mind that creating a complex synth can take a lot of time; so you might want to start with only a couple of photos just to get the feel of it.

The shortest way to sum up Photosynth, though, is this: if you haven’t tried it, you should. No description can do it justice. Its usefulness might be questionable, but well created synths look truly astonishing. Once you see it, next time you have a camera on you you’ll probably be taking photos with 3D positioning in mind; a synth from your last summer vacation will make your friends who’ve only taken “regular” photos drool with envy.
