Now that’s a bit more like it….
From all the things promised us from times immemorial (such as our own flying cars and such), researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have apparently solved (or started to solve) one very important computing problem, the automatic creation of 3D models from 2D pictures. Besides from the advantages for 3D designers, the creation of “on the fly” models from a 2D video source (which is what we humans do with our eyes and brain) might be a great boon for robotics. The question on my mind now is: will M. C. Escher crash it? 
If it doesn’t crash we may see a whole new perspective on Escher’s work!
This is a very interesting post. I had not read about this, before. It will be very interesting when we begin to see products hit the market that takes advantage of technologies like this.
Ahah, it is a sure crash
