Photosynth

Photosynth is a clever tool (and website) which allows people to take panoramic (sometime 360 degree!) photographs of interesting locations and share them with the world. The app, which is available to Apple devices only, allows you to take your photo and upload it to the website, as well as your chosen social networking site. The App is free to download to your iPad.

The website allows you to view the panoramic photos both you and other people have uploaded. You can see anything from museums to bridges to archaeology to famous landmarks. The following are a couple of examples of the panoramic pictures that have already been taken and uploaded to Photosynth

Photosynth could be used in classes for students to look at areas they're studying, or they could even create their own Synth to upload.
