Blaise Aguera y Arcas (and
Microsoft Live Labs) knocked one out of the park at
TED this year, demonstrating
Seadragon and
Photosynth, which seem likely to fundamentally shift how we organize and view visual imagery (including text).
If you're pressed for time, jump ahead to 3min 48 seconds, where he demos the seamless integration and spatial orientation of thousands of
Flickr images of Notre Dame cathedral, including their associated
metadata.
As Aguera y Arcas points out, the network externalities of this technology could integrate spatial and visual memories far beyond anything we've ever seen. Food for thought.
