Let’s say you have a lot of cats, and you want to take a panoramic photo of all your precious pets as they scamper about the room. Well now you can, thanks to Photosynth, a new iOS app from Bing.
The free app (which had previously only been available on the web) is extremely easy to use. Just tap to start, and move your device around the room, tapping to capture images of each and every corner of the room.
When you’re done, the app will stitch together all the images into a 360-degree panorama, which you can then share on Facebook, the Photosynth website (where you can actually mouse around the panoramas) or to Bing Maps. By adding your snaps to Bing Maps, you’ll allow others to see them while surfing maps or business results. The image will also save to your phone’s camera roll.
Aside from appealing to overbearing cat owners, we can see this app being extremely useful to everyone from real estate agents to businesses specializing in visual goods (galleries in particular).
The Photosynth app [iTunes link] is available for the iPhone 4, iPhone 3Gs, iPod Touch Fourth Generation, and the iPad 2 running iOS 4.1 and later and will soon be coming to Windows phones.
Will you check out Photosynth?
