It analyzes a set of photos of a place to discover similarities between the photos and uses that data to estimate where a photo was taken and build a model of the subject. It analyzes a set of photos of a place to discover similarities between the photos and uses that data to estimate where a photo was taken and build a model of the subject.

It then re-creates the environment and uses that as a canvas on which to display the photos. It then re-creates the environment and uses that as a canvas on which to display the photos.
