Using its Photosynth technology, Microsoft Live Labs announced Wednesday a collaboration with the British Broadcasting Corp. in a time-limited technical trial to launch unique three-dimensional photographic representations of historic sites throughout the United Kingdom.

The online 3-D viewing experience will be available in conjunction with the BBC’s new series “How We Built Britain” beginning now and running through mid-July.
