PHOTOSYNTHS

This is my first attempt at a Synth, which is an emerging technology for visualization. I'll redo this shortly as I wasn't happy with the results (it's still pretty cool though). It has promising potential for an exploratory tour of a museum or other detailed subjects. This one is taken in the Sant Ocean Hall at the Natural History Museum.

9) Sant Ocean Hall

Here is my second one, which shows a noticeable improvement. It is taken at the "Elms" mansion in Newport, RI.

10) West Face of the Elms

Here are some more Synths taken at the Smithsonian. (There really isn't room on the Microsoft-supplied directory to do what I would like to at this point in time.)

11) Written in Bone

12) Gold & Silver

13) Bones
