A Look Ahead
Here’s a nice segue-way from my previous post about the joys of Flickr. Check out this video of a demo of Photosynth, an amazing new technology for displaying visual data (thanks to Simplebits for the heads-up). The most stunning demonstration of this technology’s’s capabilities is it’s ability to create a multidimensional space from images culled from photo resources like Flickr. If you don’t know what a multidimensional space is, don’t sweat it, just check the video. It’s pretty amazing.
Yet while that feature may have the most “wow” factor, I am also intrigued by the possible implications this technology may have on advertising. Early in the video, the demonstration shows how you can zoom into images to a ridiculous degree. The power of this is that you can allow users to zoom in for more detailed product information. If this technology takes hold (and delivers on its potential), advertising design may never be the same.
