Hi all,
Together with two other friends, Tan Chee and Alvin Lau, we formed a team and took part in Photo360, a photosynth contest organised by Microsoft Singapore. There are two ways to win, one is the best synth, while the other is the most popular synth. If you like the synth we have done, please help by voting. Thanks!
The area we synth is the Kranji War Memorial. Its a challenging place to synth, as the graves makes the place repeating, and requires lots of details for PhotoSynth to successfully synth it together nicely. But lots of details means lots of photographs, which PhotoSynth cannot handle. So we broke it into two part.

The purpose of this synth is to help guide the visitors how to make their way from the bus stop into the memorial. This is actually the better synth, IMHO, as there are only two hiccups. One is the path to busstop, which is disjoint, and the other is the path to the graves of the two presidents, which is still intact, but difficult to navigate to that one and only path.

The second one is the memorial itself. Photosynth was able to stitch most together, but wasn't able to position them exactly in real world, as evident in the overhead view, but one can still move from the gate all the way to the back. I must say the architect that design the place is really brillant, as the whole design significies the army, the navy and the airforce in its own distinct way. I love the way he signifies the airforce. Just click on bing maps, and you should be able to appreciate what I mean.
[Update]I noticed there is no "I like" button, so I guess "add to favorites" means voting... And please vote on the second one. The first one is used in the competition, as only one photosynth is considered.
