The posts in this weblog are mainly about history, heritage, language, art, and culture of Persia (that is named Iran since 1934). Persia is, therefore, equal to Iran, and Persian is equal to Iranian. Note that Persian is a nationality not an ethnicity. Pars (or Fars) is the major ethnicity in Persia but there are also Persian Kurds or Arabs. Similarly, the official language in Persia is Persian (Farsi is the local name and may not be used internationally). For more details please read my posts.

Photosynth: Digital 3D photos!
I started a series of posts about Persian history and heritage. I will continue that story, but in the meantime I don't want to ignore other interesting topics.
I read the article Photos transformed into 3D model in the BBC NEWS website (for those of you who are interested, here is the Persian translation of the same article). I think that's a wonderful technique. I could imagine the possibility of doing so, but I didn't expect that it come to market for public!
In short, you can have two (or more) digital photo's from the same place. The photo can even be taken in different times, using different camera's. The software will find the points that the photo's share, and creat a 3D image of the place. Isn't it wonderful? The name of the software is Photosynth.
