Photosynth is a collaboration between Microsoft Research and the University of Washington based on the groundbreaking research of Noah Snavely (UW), Steve Seitz (UW), and Richard Szeliski (Microsoft Research). Microsoft rolled in the luscious visualization technology of the recently acquired Seadragon startup, the speed and compression goodness of the new Windows Media Photo format, the product prowess of the PIX team, and the internet expertise of the Windows Live Local product group. Thrown together in the fertile soup of Live Labs this organic structure is evolving into something quite new – a team with the boldness of a research organization and the shipping discipline of a product group.
