Machine Learns to understand 3d in 2d photos
A Standford University project taught some software how to understand the 3d information in one 2d photo and reconstruct the 3d structures to be used by tributary human beings. You can interact with the picture-understanding-overloard through a website interface where you can send it your most personal photos to understand and make a not so exact replica of the bikini wonder you have seen on the beach. Or you can replicate that air castle that you would soo love to live in for your Second Life Avatar - so he might have to squeeze through some pixels and morph into a 2.5d being at times where the hyperintelligent software just thought there must be 2d elements in the real 3d world otherwise the strange arrangement of pixels can not be explained.
