3D Renderings from Text

A new technology called Text-to-3D makes it easier than ever to create three-dimensional images from PCs, tablets, smartphones, and even smart TVs. The cloud-based rendering service allows users to type descriptions of any object or environment on a keyboard and it will automatically render the typed word into a 3D model.

The software not only supports the names of objects (such as “table”), but also recognizes adjectives that modify them (such as “round,” “square,” “wooden,” “glass”) as well as words that place other objects relative to them (such as “next to,” or “on top of”). In addition, the items can be tagged based on style, time, and geographical location, and can range from simple objects to scenes (such as a living room or street) and even to entire worlds.

Eventually, the technology could be used to visualize most vocabulary words, object-based data on the Internet, or even descriptions in books. It might even be possible someday to create entire movies from text. It’s compatible with Mac OSX, Windows 7/8 and Linux operating systems and can be downloaded online.
