The Moment

At noon tomorrow Barack Obama places his hand on the bible and takes his oath of office. CNN, with a little help from Microsoft’s Photosynth and a million friends, plan to create the most detailed experience of a single moment ever. They are asking everyone attending the inauguration to take a photo at noon and send it to them. They will then use Photosynth to stitch all the shots together in a 3D space which should be spectacular – let’s hope it’s more successful than John King’s virtual pie chart.

Of course they could crowd-sorce video footage too, as Michel Gondry did for the live video of Daft Punk’s HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER. Maybe next time.
