But the real trick comes when he shows how Seadragon dovetails with Photosynth. Developed in tandem with researchers at the University of Washington, Photosynth grabs multiple photos of given location and stitches them together in three-dimensional space. Several shots of Trafalgar Square become a 3D recreation of Trafalgar Square.

That is pretty awesome.

It's the speed and ease with which the program handles tons of information. Also the ability to piece different information from different pictures into one general model. It's pretty awesome, I think the feat is just the massiveness and amount of information this system can process so easily.
