Here are two links I read this morning that may be of interest. The first is a typical kaleidoscope design, but the elements it is recombining are descriptions of all the items in the Tate's collection, allowing it to describe art from the future or another universe.

This second link is to a system that takes a textual description of a scene and turns it into a 3d representation. The system can then answer questions about the scene or show it from other points of view. This is similar to what I built for my thesis, except that instead of starting with textual descriptions I start with a photo from one point of view.
