Every now and again a piece of technology comes along that just makes you go, WOW, HOW COOL IS THAT?! For me, the latest is Sketch2Photo, an uber clever bit of software developed by a group of students in China. Sketch2Photo creates Photoshop style montages based on your doodles, by scouring the internet for images tagged with your annotations, cutting them out and working out the best way to fit them together.
No word yet on when the software will be available to play with, but you can read the paper on it here and watch this video of it in action:
Whenever it comes out, one things's for certain: whether you're mocking up concepts or just pimping your Powerpoint, this is going to be one useful bit of kit.
