3-D Search Engine for Shapes

Posted by Hemos on from the find-the-purty-colors dept.

geoffsmith writes "Just stumbled upon an amazing search engine from Princeton where you can search for shapes. What separates this from something like Google Image Search is the fact that you can actually draw out the shape you are looking for on a little sketchpad. The sketchpad allows you to draw front, side, and top views to provide the search engine with a 3-dimensional construct of the shape."

    This is pretty common on Slashdot. With slash, an editor can publish a story to appear with any arbitrary time for the article. If the time is in the future, the article won't appear for a while. If it is in the past, it will appear down the line in the submissions. Whenever it happens, people get mad.
