3-D Search
AP - Researchers Develop 3-D Search Engine
In hopes of wrapping their arms around more of that stuff, computing researchers have developed new search engines that can mine catalogs of three-dimensional objects, like airplane parts or architectural features.
All the users have to do is sketch what they're thinking of, and the search engines can produce comparable objects.
You can try out the search here: http://shape.cs.princeton.edu/search.html. The downside is if you're like me and have difficulty sketching stick figures.
