using Kinect to make Matterport, a handheld device that instantly creates 3D renderings of any space.
Seconds after pointing the device around a room, you can browse a 3D replica on your laptop…
While Matterport hasn’t set a price for the product…Bell says it won’t be prohibitive to consumer 3D enthusiasts.
Several of them have already answered the question “What would you scan?” on Matterport’s website in ways the company never anticipated.
One family, for instance, wants to capture a 3D image of the houseboat it is moving from so that a young child will remember it. Employees from the USDA want to use Matterport to calculate the square footage of leaves on a plant without cutting them off.
All Your Social Media In One Place | Onepo.st
I’ve just started using onepo.st and so far am loving it. Not only did it do functionally what I needed (display dropbox photo gallery in embeddable form), when they asked for feedback — which I gave them, mentioning something I felt was missing — within a few days they emailed me back to say they’d added it. So not only a great tool, great responsiveness too. With the added bonus that I love the design, so simple and uncluttered vs the usual photo/slideshow gadgets. It’s well worth checking out if you haven’t already.
Instagrams will start to supplant Facebook photos, imbuing them with an odd sense of permanence that was not there before. They are the stuff of future memories, like the Polaroids of years past. Why? Because in the future, everything will be seen through rose-colored filters; or, rather, vintage-tinted, electronica-inducing filters overlaid with club music. The imagery of our generation will not be defined with a single filter - it will overlay multiple sounds and images, an overstimulating mishmash of audio and visual.

And today, Flickr, which says it is home to more than 7 billion photos
the world’s friendliest photo editor got a chance to start again. If you loved Picnik, PicMonkey is back in town and better than ever. It’s faster, more powerful, and easier to use.
newest iOS app, iPhoto, hit 1 million users in less than 10 days after its release
When a new fleet of helicopters arrived with an aviation unit at a base in Iraq, some Soldiers took pictures on the flightline, he said. From the photos that were uploaded to the Internet, the enemy was able to determine the exact location of the helicopters inside the compound and conduct a mortar attack, destroying four of the AH-64 Apaches.
by 1960 it is estimated that 55% of photos were of babies. From 1984 onwards the Silver Institute and PMIA published estimates of how many physical photos the world was snapping each year (silver halide being an important chemical in film)[4]. Year after year these numbers grew, as more people took more photos - the 20th century was the golden age of analog photography peaking at an amazing 85 billion physical photos in 2000 — an incredible 2,500 photos per second.
Flickr (claims to have)… the Internet’s largest collection of geo-tagged photos (currently numbering at about 270 million)
more than 3.5 million photos are uploaded to Flickr via PC and mobile devices a day
Snapheal Brings Magic to Photo Retouching
this looks pretty good from the demo video… I’ll remember it next time I have to do serious edits…
KLM turns journeys into movies (by AmsterdamAdBlog) … “KLM Passport app, an app that turns traveller’s journeys into movies. This film, developed by Muse, shows more or less how it works: you choose a theme (adventure, around the world, island hopping, in the snow, etc.), select the best pictures and videos on your iPhone taken during your trip, and the app creates a need little movie.”
The new Dropbox photo upload feature — which is currently available in the latest Experimental Forum Build of the desktop app — works in a similar manner.
Once enabled, plugging in a camera or memory card will give you the option of automatically importing the photographs and movies and then uploading that content directly to Dropbox
