Cool. Use Photosynth to take a bunch of pictures and turn it into a 3D model.

I saw how to do something like this like 25 years ago, in Byte magazine or 
something, using a digitizer (what we'd call a graphics tablet today) on a 
few pictures to identify the common points. Never really followed the math, 
unfortunately.

Anyone know what the math behind "here's a bunch of 2D images, figure out 
the 3D shape" is called?
