http://www.answers.com/photosynth :
Photosynth is a software technology preview from Microsoft Live Labs and the University of Washington that analyses digital photographs to build a three-dimensional model of a photographed object. Pattern recognition components compare portions of images to create points, which are then compared to convert the image into a model...
As the video below of a PhotoSynth presentation demonstrates, this technology represents tremendous opportunity for furthering networking technologies (eg. Wikipedia) for humanity, specifically in a visual and computing sense.
As always, there is a spiritual symbolism, significance or parallel to this wonderful expression of interconnectedness called, "NetWorking".
