techcrunch.com — Fotowoosh, a new service from Maryland-based startup Freewebs, will turn any image into a 3D model. In a week or so, the company says, users will be able to upload a picture and have an animated 3D image returned to them in an embeddable Flash widget.

VERY cool. You could do this to some pretty neat things. I wonder what some of the 9/11 Photos would look like?

I think it's funny that the article says "you currently need a VRML reader to see it (future browsers will likely build this functionality in)". Future browsers? Netscape 4 would parse VRML...if current browsers don't, it's because VRML sucks, and nobody wanted it...

moft is right. Canoma (and few other programs) can do same thing and results look much better. (But it requires some manual editing)

Funny because I was just about to move to Cali....ironic because someone was just telling me yesterday "you underestimate the talents in maryland"....

Google Sketchup has had that as an imbedded function called photomatch, then simply exporting a avi.

Why must they delete the sky in each of the pictures? Can they not use that in the 3d version?
