The Moment

CNN employs Microsoft's Photosynth technology (previously) to bring you The Moment of Barack Obama's inauguration.
This post was deleted for the following reason: Mentioned already in this thread today, and we've got a lot of inauguration-related posts on the front page already, so this is probably overdoing it a little. -- cortex
Who's that guy sitting directly behind Obama taking a picture? I want his picture.

'Hologram' then photosynth, looks like CNN is trying to jazz up the news. This is cool, but I'm not heartened about their next step.

Apparently Microsoft thought photosynth was like the most amazing thing ever, they even feature it in their TV ads for Vista, as if people should update their OS just to get a cheesy utility.

They also tried employing Songsmith for Aretha Franklin's bit, but it ended up not being jazzy enough.

Silverlight required, btw.
I would sooner mainline hydrofluoric acid.
