WordsEye is primarily an online creative visual expression tool but we think education is another very interesting application eg. as an aid to literacy and helping students reach their expressive potential and also for EFL, ESL, and foreign language learning. And down the road it could potentially be used in VR and gaming.

@zamchick Seems I came late to the party. The registration code is not working anymore. :/
@fepacheco@zamchick There's been a lot of volume coming in today so we've made some changes to accommodate that.

@dnlbauer I like it alot. Have you discussed an application within a school setting? I am thinking of those who may have a processing delay or students who have traditionally struggled with language. There are several programs out that explore the art of storytelling using unconventional mediums. Im thinking of Story Bird in particular.
@greaterthan1000 We are actively discussing educational pilots with a couple of New York City schools (K-12), with WordsEye serving as an aid to literacy and also as a support technology in language immersion classrooms. We did some earlier studies on this with the Harlem Educational Activities Fund (HEAF): http://academiccommons.columbia....
Beyond basic literacy, we're also interested in helping students with learning disabilities (in particular autistic students) and ESL learners.

@dnlbauer@greaterthan1000 outstanding. I'm an Assistant Principal in highschool that has 25 % population with IEP's. We also have programs for students who need assistance with communication and social skills. I like the potential. I also run an Ed Tech mailing list called Education Hunt. I'd be happy to give you some positive press. Let me know if you would be interested. https://www.getrevue.co/profile/...
Wow this is actually very awesome! I can imagine what funny images you will have with serious newspaper articles or explaining science in a fun and easy way. Cool :)

It's awesome! ...and It's also quite complex to implement this "Text-to-Scene". Congrats to the makers!

Very interesting concept, although it is a bit disappointing that it's invite-only. I think you could generate a lot more traction if you submitted this after you're ready for public use.
Thank you for your enthusiasm! We are excited about hitting the 100+ upvote milestone!
The idea for Wordseye came from the fact that 3D artists can create almost anything they can imagine and the rest of us are cut off from that experience. Wordseye uses natural language processing to unlock this potential in everyone, letting them create 3D scenes by simply describing them. Users can create art and cartoons, express visual opinions and sentiments, and have fun bantering with these images on-site and over social media. Enabling a new form of creative expression is our primary thrust, but we see strong applications in education, mobile messaging, VR, and gaming.
