Geography 2.0: Virtual Globes: It is perplexing therefore that Egenhofer and Mark assert that “there is a need to incorporate naive geographic knowledge and reasoning into GISs,” when they acknowledge that such knowledge “may actually contain ”˜errors’” and “occasionally be inconsistent.” While they undoubtedly intend for such misconceptions eventually to be remedied, facilitating and acquiescing to erroneous conceptual models would serve only to confuse and perpetuate further misconceptions. Once created, reductive-influenced conceptual models are difficult to correct and overcome (Feltovich et al. (via Cosmos)

JD on EP: Then earlier this month there were the Photosynth presentations at Microsoft Labs [aside: no code, just video, on a "labs"?], where 3D geometry could be built from an image stream by identifying common areas and automating a model, and with timestamps I bet you could do re-creations of how people moved through a scene, like JFK assasination, Qana choreography, Mohammed al Dura, other controversies.

[Blog.landspurg.net] TomSoft: The phone makers can learn a lot from Microsoft: don’t be afraid to make radical interface changes. There’s a limit to small-steps evolution, at some point you have to make a revolution.
[Reddit.com] Very Cool new technology from Microsoft - Photosynth (Video ...: You link to Canoma as an example of building models from photos, but that software requires the user to do all the modeling by hand. Automatic 3D reconstruction is still a topic of ongoing research, but impressive results have been coming out recently.
