This Impossible Software Can Make 3D Models From a Single Photograph

I was very impressed by this, but I would like to see it be able to make more accurate models, as it is now, it does not appear to be able to handle the "back" of an object, the best way I can try to explain what I mean is, if you used this software to create a 3d model of a playing card, from a photo of the front face of the card, the back of the card would have the same "texture" (image) as the front*. I am sure that if I noticed this then they have too, and are working on a way to do it, or maybe you will have to import the model into another program and finish it there.

I also don't agree that it will do away with "artistic" talent as it says on the site hosting the video, because even with every advantage of the modern age, we still can not produce "art" that is any more pleasing or beautiful than in the past.
Some things are timeless like the pyramids, mozart and shakespear.
I do not think we have "advanced" in "art" (and I dont think you can) but we have advanced in "replication" to an incredible degree, I think that if you were able to time travel to even 150 years ago, and met with the finest master blacksmith, and tried to explain that we could produce hyperdermic needles at a rate of thousands an our, he would not be able to comprehend it.
