From the science-being-used-right department comes word of a group of technology researchers in Washington who are attempting to construct a three-dimensional model of the city of Rome from photos found on Flickr.

Their site notes that entering the search term “Rome” in Flickr returns more than two million photographs. Apparently, people take pictures of every nook and cranny when they visit Rome, as they are combining all those images to form a three dimensional shape of the city.

And all this is being done in a day.

So far the results are pretty amazing. Hope they extend it to other cities.
