Thoughts:
Results are similar to those of auto stitch. It matches pixel colours and patterns to stitch together photo's to create a curved panaramic view so it gives the allusion three dimensionality. I t does not as i first thought create 3d digital models of existing objects. It could still be helpful during the site analysis process or used for backgrounds of rendered views of 3d models. The ability to store and share these images online is this softwares greatest strenght. Synths could be created of existing buildings, proposed sites etc... and shared with other architectural firms who don't have physical access to the site. The software is very easy to use and syths can quickly be created. The biggest weekness of the software is the inability to export the resulting images for use in other programs. The ability to import the completed synths into programs such as Photoshop, Indesign and Powerpoint could make Photosynth a very powerful presentation tool.
