Composite Image Program (totally insane!)

[Philondra]

This is an article + explanatory video about a new computer program developed in China that automatically creates composite images based off rough hand-drawn images and text clues. Take a look at the video explaining how it works and how it creates utterly ridiculous composite images from the internet.

This is seriously a candidate for most awesome thing of 2009.

That looks pretty neat. We got our son one of those Bamboo sketch padshttp://www.wacom.com/bamboo/index.php for his most recent birthday, the only thing he asked for. He loves that thing, if I show him this it'll end up on his Christmas list.

It's a research project, so the cost is either free, or millions of dollars (depending on how you look at it)



As yet, no online demos - which means we have to take their word for it that the thing works as well as they claim. Well, until someone stops being lazy and downloads their code.
