MC2 Post 1695 3-Sweep Is the Fastest Way to Get 3D from 2D

From:   http://www.core77.com

The video below is literally jaw-dropping.

Researchers Tao Chen, Zhe Zhu, Ariel Shamir, Shi-Min Hu and Daniel Cohen-Or have developed software called "3-Sweep," an insanely cool way to extract editable 3D data from a 2D image. Not a bunch of 2D images—we all know the technology where you walk around an object and fire off a dozen shots—just one image. Which means you no longer have to be there with a camera, but could conceivably pull a (relatively well-shot) 2D image from anywhere, and quickly create a model of it.

For those of you in Hong Kong, a 3-Sweep demo is scheduled
for the upcoming SIGGRAPH Asia.

Programming Languages to Shake up the Mix?

The Old Dogs and the New...

Wingman.

The chart below depicts the most commonly used programming languages (with the exception of Assembler) and the date that they first appeared. As you can see, there are 20 languages shown, and not one of them first appeared after the year 2000. Some of them stepped forward decades ago into the public horizon, and yet still remain popular to this day.

Now, let's explore the 11 programming languages at hand. 

For each title we have

compiled its own portal page, a full description with an in-depth analysis of its

features, together with links to relevant resources and reviews.
