The World-Wide Media eXchange (WWMX) is a centralized index of digital photos, where photos are tagged by the geographic location where they were shot. It's an experimental research project run by the Interactive Visual Media Group at Microsoft Research. The project explores possibilities with digital photographs and geographic location. The location where a photo was taken provides clues about its semantic context and offers an intuitive way to index it, even in a very large collection. The combination is powerful, but still not supported well by either the photo-software or camera-hardware industries. They are trying to establish a strong case for these features, and you can help them -- try the downloads, and tell them about your experience. Your feedback can make a difference!
