OT: 2D to 3D Tools -- What Happened to Canoma?

[Geoff Canyon]

You might take a look here:

It's software by a research team that automatically generates a 3D  
image from a 2D source. As far as I know, it only works with outside  
scenes. It works by deciding where the horizon is, and figuring out  
what should be vertical. There are some amazing images on their web  
site of a train and a cathedral, both of which went from flat to 3D.

Geoff
