Microsoft Experiments with Photo Viewing, Part 2: Photosynth

Today, Microsoft announced the official release of their Photosynth project, which allows a user to view a collection of images in 3D contextual space. The great thing about this launch is that now, users can create their own “Synths” out of a collection of personal images. This is very exciting, as now I’m sure we’ll [...]

Microsoft Experiments with Photo Viewing, Part 1: Deep Zoom

Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot about a couple relatively new technologies coming out of Microsoft called Deep Zoom and Photosynth. I’m not entirely sure if “technology experiment” is the correct term for these two photo-viewing platforms, but they seem to be more proof-of-concepts than anything especially practical.

So what have [...]

I’m a Neudist!

Now that neude has changed formats I’d like to introduce myself as a new poster.

A lot of what I’ll find to write here will likely be off the beaten track. Why? I don’t code. I don’t design. I only write documentation when [...]

Welcome to Neude

Welcome to the new neude. For those of you who were with me during the old neude, you may be wondering what has changed. Well, the entire focus is now different. Before I wrote primarily about Neumont University - what was going on, what I liked, what I disliked, etc. I’ve been out of [...]
