Microsoft Reasearch has recently presented a new prototype for merging images from the same geographic location to create a 3D representation of a place. The product is called Photosynth and it was presented recently at SIGGRAPH 2006. The idea is to take multiple photos of an object, or a building taken from different angles, and combining them in 3D space by putting similar photos close to each other.
You can see another demo here (from University of Washington) on how to use Photosynth to explore a famous tourist attraction in Paris... (?!)
