Photosynth – Capturing the complete picture

Microsoft Photosynth, http://www.photosynth.net, is a collection of tools that lets you create 3d panoramic images. The tools include a mobile app for iOS devices for capturing and uploading images, a desktop app stitch together images stored on your desktop and the photosynth.net site to host and share your images. The great thing about it is the service and apps are free.

Here is a panorama I created at the office.

Easy classroom file sharing with box.net

Box is an easy to use file sharing service that I use to share files in my courses and for my projects. Files can be shared from your desktop computer or mobile device. Box also includes collaboration tools so others can contribute to your shared folders. The Box service is located at http://www.box.net.
