			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sheet rock is about to go on our new house, but before it does I wanted to get a series of photos of the house without the sheet rock so I&#8217;d know exactly where every pipe, wire and 2&#215;4 is after we move in.  It could come in handy.</p>
<p>I took pictures of the whole house, but they&#8217;re not really organized very well.  I remembered after I got home about Photosynth.  It&#8217;s a web app from Microsoft that lets you recreate a 3d scene from a series of photographs.  I uploaded photos from the living room and game room to create a Photosynth.  You can view it by clicking the image below.</p>
<p><a href="http://photosynth.net/view.aspx?cid=1C0A55F2-0025-4F49-ADDC-89A0C8EA1A48"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-485" title="Photosynth" src="http://www.zongker.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/photosynth.jpg" alt="Photosynth" width="480" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>You start out in the game room.  There are complete 360 views of the living and game room and you can walk between them.  It&#8217;s a really cool app, but it&#8217;s kind of hard to get use to navigating.   Here&#8217;s a few tips to help you get around.</p>
<p>1. Put it in full screen mode so you can see what you&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;ll only let you spin around so far from the image your currently viewing.  To move further in one direction, click on another image and you can keep going.</p>
<p>3. It&#8217;s easy to get stuck.  If this happens, use the arrows to navigate or look down and the floor or ceiling to keep moving.</p>
<p>4. You can use your mouse wheel to zoom in.  A LOT!</p>
<p>5. It&#8217;s easier to walk backwards from the game room to the living room.</p>
