Saw this video today about a development from Carnegie Mellon (June press release here) that turns 2D digital photographs into 3D ones. As you watch this amazing video, don’t focus on any image anomalies like tearing or missing pixels, instead imagine the creative possiblities of quickly building virtual spaces in Second Life; adding this capability to video game or virtual world engines; or desktop authoring tools that could let mere mortals like most of us create 3D walk throughs.
