Microsoft Photosynth innovative technology, which can be used to create and share immersive 360-degree panoramas, landed on the iPhone today.
For times when a single image will not catch the full visual experience, Microsoft has created a high-tech, interactive panorama program called Photosynth - and now it's available for iPhone.
But Windows 7 Phone owners are perhaps the users that Microsoft should bow their heads over heels to please, still waiting for their own Photosynth approx.
Using the latest computer vision technology, Photosynth makes panoramas capture app fun and engaging, while creating sharp, high resolution results.
Microsoft's decision to give priority to iPhone development for Photosynth is an indication of a bigger problem that it is facing with Windows phone - it is better to deliver cool technology to larger iPhone audience, or making it exclusive to Windows phone I'm a fan of Windows 7 Phone their? design and overall polish, but not much in the way of killer apps.
With the program you can manage, display and store the panoramic images directly on the device.
If Microsoft Photosynth delivered to WP7 first, it could have been something to inspire pangs of jealousy in the iPhone and Android owners.
Then share them in different ways, including to Facebook as images or interactive panoramas (hosted for free) on Photosynth.net, said Microsoft in an April 18 posting on his blog Bing.
There is also a third option Microsoft could have considered: Photosynth release on both Windows Phone and iPhone at the same time.
Until now, Photosynth was only available as a downloadable software tool on PC.
On the way Windows phone users do not feel rejected (as many are, according to comments on the Internet), and Microsoft will take advantage of iPhone's large user base.
In a slight to his own Windows Mobile 7 Phone users, Microsoft is bringing the software to iPhone users first.
The Photosynth iPhone app lets you upload panoramic creations to Photosynth.net, Bing Bing Maps and local companies, so it's a bit of a Trojan horse for Microsoft.
Previews Photosynth back to 2006, but it was not until 2008 that users could upload and create their own panoramic images with the software.
The app also stacks up well against the 360 \u200b\u200bPanorama, the current king of the iPhone apps Panorama: Photosynth provides higher resolution images, full 360-degree capture, as well as several ways to share your creations.
The iPhone version of the software, but makes it much easier for users to capture and share their panoramas.
Microsoft first showed Photosynth in 2006 as a way to stitch together multiple images to virtually visit famous sites - for example, you can see the results of a Photosynth consists of 396 pictures stitched together around the Statue of Liberty.
Photosynth for iPhone is by no means the first panoramic program hits the App Store.

Apps Pano, 360 Panorama, Panoramatic 360 and AutoStitch Panorama in front of it, but Photosynth advanced, the device image stitching, high image quality, progressive and intuitive picture completion, and $ 0 price tag makes it an easy first option for those who are searching for a panoramic picture-taking approx.
The most interesting news of Microsoft's iPhone app announcement, however, is that iPhone users will be able to upload their panoramas to Bing Maps.
When users publish their panoramic images and synths to Bing Maps, they will be publicly available and displayed on Microsoft's Photosynth the map around.
Microsoft is no doubt hoping that millions of iPhone users will upload their panoramas, helping the company to create a comprehensive and navigable view of the world.
Microsoft points out that it will launch Photosynth for its own mobile platform, Windows 7 Phone (WP7), the next, but failed to produce any concrete roll-out plan.
