What a great idea, what do you think?

I think it's really fantastic.

Hopefully soon we'll all be able to throw our cameras away. Why make a photograph of anything, when you can recreate it synthetically?

I'm also hoping that soon, you'll be able to buy a portable machine that will fire a golf ball precise distances with accurate spin so I can make par every time. It would save me swinging my arm, and would probably improve the look of my score card.

I detect a hint of sarcasm there

I don't get it either. If you use the software then it's no longer your shot, so why not just buy a postcard? So you can still get auntie barb and uncle arthur posing by the view? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Impressive though.
