Everyscape

I just caught wind of a new startup named Everyscape from Greg Sterling's blog post. From the post, "... which is seeking to take ordinary photographs and knit them into a “3D” image display for cities." Coincidently, this happened on the coat-tails of my discovery of Photosynth, and my marveling at the potential of a long-tail virtual earth.

My first impression was Google Streetview on steroids, but their preview held an eerie similarity to the Photosynth demo. In fact, this seems to embody exactly what I foresaw for the future of Photosynth. Many ordinary images stitched into a scene that you can navigate. One interesting point is that they use scape artists as well as regular images.
