    NyTimes- Obama in 3D: Photosynth to Crowdsource Synth of the 44th Presidential Inauguration

    "Microsoft Photosynth team will by creating a three-dimensional "synth" of the inauguration from your photos.

    "Photosynth – a service powered by Seadragon – allows a series of two-dimensional pictures to be stitched and interpolated into a three-dimensional representation of a moment in time. The more angles and photos, the more complete the rendering. So, the girth of photos from the inauguration will be particularly well-suited, given that there will be millions of images from thousands of different vantage points."

    To participate:

    1. Take one photo of the moment when Obama takes the oath. If you have a digital camera with a zoom lens, take three photos (wide-angle, mid-zoom, full-zoom)

    2. E-mail each photo as soon as possible to themoment@cnn.com (one photo per message, 10MB size limit). Don’t forget to include your name in the message if you’d like to appear in the list of the contributors. Please only send in photos you took yourself.

    3. Go to cnn.com/themoment to see all of the photos in our photosynth
