Today the world will witness Barack Obama take the oath of office to become the 44th President of the United States.
Certainly history will be made, but how it's recorded is arguably of equal significance. With millions of Americans attending the ceremony, US news station CNN is using Microsoft Photosynth to document this event.
Photosynth takes 2D images and renders them to create a 3D space. Check out the video above to see how it works.
By encouraging each person with a camera to take a photo as Obama places his hand on the Bible and takes the oath, CNN is creating a fantastically detailed visual account of this occasion, from every conceivable angle.
President Obama may be the man that makes history, but it will be millions of Americans that join together to capture that moment using digital technology. Amazing.
