This demonstration of Photosynth, software from Microsoft that creates links among pictures based on elements within the picture, is fascinating to watch.

The most fascinating thing about this demo is you can start to sense the potential for this technology, for both the positive (imagine how this could improve searching through archival photographs) and the negative (facial recognition software for public cameras, anyone?).

It reminded me of this demo for a multi-touch interface.
