Photo software creates 3-D world

02-20-2007 · EurekAlert!

The Photo Tourism experimental software is one part photo album and one part video game. It analyzes where a digital photograph was taken and then places the image in a 3-D virtual world. Applications include organizing personal photo collections, creating virtual tours and, perhaps someday, making a visual map of all the photos on the Internet.

  10. Human clones: New U.N. analysis lays out world's choices
    11-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
    In an analysis for world governments, the U.N. University's Institute of Advanced Studies warns of a stark choice: reach a compromise agreement quickly that outlaws human reproductive cloning or start preparations to protect the rights of cloned individuals from potential abuse, prejudice and discrimination. A legally-binding global ban on work to create a human clone, coupled with freedom for nations to permit strictly controlled therapeutic research, has the greatest political viability of options available to the international community, says the report.
