Photosynth

Okay, so usually I do these things in sets of five, but this app deserves an entire article to itself. It’s incredible and free and created by Microsoft (seriously- nice job).

This app is a panorama phenomenon. You can capture 360° of your surroundings in ONE PHOTO. It’s really incredible. You know those 360° tours you click on when you want to view a room in a hotel or house? Well, now you have that capability on your iPhone or iPad. Why restrict your photos to one small, square box? No longer will you have to “squeeze” to fit into a group photo or attempt to capture spectacularly immense images in one click — Now, you can start taking the picture on the left and stop as far right as you want (even wrap around so that it’s once continuous photo).

And if you want to get crazy, you can create a whole bubble-like picture by tilting the camera up and down to get the floor and ceiling into your captured moment. Can you imagine what this will do for your company? Especially those of you in corporate real estate? It makes looking at property and office space all the more productive because now you can provide a 360° tour for all your clients and co-workers.

With this app, you no longer have to piece together the layout of a room with disjointed photos — Photosynth stitches them together for you (and with no visible seams).
