Over the last few months we’ve been gathering feedback both internally and from our partners on the authoring experience for Photosynth. The experiments have yielded some fantastic results that we anticipate sharing on the site in the weeks and months ahead. Today we’d like to share one such example from our friends at MSN Korea. One brisk Seoul winter month, over 4,000 photos were submitted by local Koreans to help construct this synth of Gyeongbok Palace, one of South Korea's finest national treasures. Originally built in 1394, it is the largest palace of the Joseon Dynasty. At its height in the mid 1800's, it covered 330 buildings and over 4 million square feet as the grand home for the royal family. This is the first synth we’ve shown that contains a mix of professional photography and candid photos from other people using their own cameras.

Enjoy exploring the Palace and check back soon for even more Photosynth goodness.
