Photo

OCR. Read textual data from an image. Can be a fax or data on an existing image.

Audio commentary is attached to image.

Multiple photos are combined into a video or animation like a slideshow.

3D imaging such as VRML

Metadata is extracted about the photo (EXIF, IPTC).

Network visualizes and understands the photo.

Document

Pages are scanned in or converted to an image.

Text to speech conversion.

The closest equivalent is animation.

Pages are transformed into 3D virtual book

Metadata is extracted about the document (header).

Network reads and understands the document contents.

Audio
