Unusual photo and video effects from Microsoft
This was in the Windows Secrets newsletter today:

Microsoft’s department of unusual software
Most of the images we take get little more than an adjustment here and there. But today’s image-editing tools let you do things with photos you never could do with film. Surprisingly, some of the more oddball image/video-editing tools can be found at Microsoft Research, a place where all kinds of curious applications are created and tested. Some of the more successful apps become official Microsoft products. Most of the apps are for exceptionally technical uses, but a few will appeal to average PC users.
Three examples are Photosynth, Image Composite Editor, and Cliplets. The first two let you (with the help of a supporting website) turn multiple photos into a single interactive experience. Your jaded friends might be impressed by the ability to view photographed objects from various angles and to scroll through a scene too wide to fit on the screen.
