SeaDragon From Microsoft Now On The iPhone

First mobile application written by Microsoft has just popped up on AppStore. Called SeaDragon Mobile, the application which comes free of charge and measure about 1.1 MB is intended to let the iPhone users to view, browse and share giga-pixel images.

SeaDragon is based on Photosynth software, which enables the apparently easy creation of a 3D environment.

“Explore massive galaxies, pore over maps, or flip through collections of photographs, all over the air. You can also add your own photos or browse those already available on Photosynth.com”, it says the description of SeaDragon Mobile.

Unfortunately, Photosynth functionality is currently not working and Microsoft’s engineers are working to fix the problems.

Microsoft’s Photosynth service was launched earlier this year.

The service allows users to upload their photos and then stitches them into a 3D environment, creating a 360-degree visual experience called a “synth”. The whole idea is to offer a new panoramic stitching tool, smarter and easier to use than any other similar product.

As for iPhone, it seems like we would soon get other applications from Microsoft. As CNET reported, Microsoft’s Tellme unit is expected to release an iPhone app in the form of a voice-activated search.
