Sketch2Photo (named PhotoSketch until this week) is the coolest app I have seen in a while. It allows you to turn a simple drawing into a photo.

According to Tao Chen, one of the programmers “The composed picture is generated by seamlessly stitching several photographs in agreement with the sketch and text labels; these are found by searching
the Internet.”

It was developed by five Chinese students at Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore. I think it’s best to just watch the video to see how it works.

There is clearly always a big jump between a video showcase and a working proposition, but it certainly looks good so far.
