Seems like a really simple way to do a level-editor on paper - draw it, scan it and convert it.

Someone already did this:

Nintendo, if given that idea, would love it. They have an upcoming game called Mario Maker that lets you create Super Mario Bros levels, on the Wii U. And the 3DS has a camera.

(Well, I can dream...)

That's a great idea. If I could get the image processing to run fast enough, I'd love to get to a point where you could have Screentendo overlay a video (of a scrolling level for example), and have the level blocks generate as the video played.

My Sony phone has augmented reality toys that kind of do this. Point your phone at a table top, and dinosaurs appear which are able to navigate objects on the table and trees grow out of things.

The Sony PS4 also has demos with the same idea.

I'm almost 100% sure I've seen this demoed before, and obviously it wouldn't be real-time, but would certainly be a cool proof of concept.
