Different than static photos and video, Photosynth allows you to explore details of places, objects, and events unlike any other media. You can’t stop video, move around and zoom in to check out the smallest details, but with Photosynth you can. And you can’t look at a photo gallery and immediately see the spatial relation between the photos, but with Photosynth you can."
 
 
 
This is a very useful way of showing shots of archaeological sites:
 
 
 
* Sites can be illustrated by way of a panorama - with some shots zoomed in for detail.
 
 
 
* A tour of a site can be incorporated where the camera position moves to successive locations - having wider angle shots to take in the further locations is needed.
 
 
 
* An investigation sequence can be accommodated where successive shots show the development of an excavation.
