Jeff Jonas on Photosynth and Infosynth

As I noted in this post last week, the only way to make any real sense of the big picture is to first stitch together all of the atomic-level observations (puzzle pieces) into context (pictures).

With this in mind, take a look at this exceptional video about "Photosynth" presented by Blaise Aguera y Arcas at a TED conference.

Now imagine the process of stitching together not just digital images … but all available data – across disparate data types (e.g., structured, unstructured text, images, video, audio, etc.).

When I speak of Context, this is exactly what I mean.

So after seeing Photosynth ... this made me think "n" sensor context accumulation could just as easily be called "Infosynth."
