Content Aware Image Resizing
Presented at Siggraph 2007 this video above shows content aware image resizing. With this an image can be enlarged or shrunk with some sort of smart idea of what to get rid of. Also there are built in tools for specific removal. This added with the shrink tool would make masking a thing of the past. Very cool feature that I expect Adobe might be dropping a check for.
Portrait Drawing Robot
This robot created by Sylvain Calinon will ask if you would like to have a portrait “drawn” of yourself. If you answer yes it takes an image and then proceeds to draw it. Some I am sure will argue this is nothing but a high tech printer and in some ways it is but it is very exciting to see where the possibilities of this technology will take us.
