Over the last 6 months we’ve been working with the BBC on a time limited technical trial of the Photosynth technology in support of the "How We Built Britain" television series. Viewers will be able to explore synths of Ely Cathedral, Burghley House, the Royal Crescent, Bath, the Scottish Parliament Buildings, and Blackpool Tower Ballroom at http://labs.live.com/photosynth/bbc/. The BBC will also have units on location at each of the historic sites to collect images from tourists visiting the sites that we will add to the synths in the weeks to come. Be sure to check out Trafalgar Square that also features some fantastic historical photography to contrast how people interacted with the locations in the past and present and check back every few weeks to see how they evolve.
