Side View Generator lets you see what words look like "from the side"

Side View Generator lets you see what words look like "from the side"

Side View Generator is a clever little Web application that turns words into other words. So, ... what's so clever about that?

You feed it with a word or two (up to ten letters), and it does its magic by taking your text and creating it in 3D. This is the tricky part, really: each letter is composed of multiple voxels, and each voxel is located at a certain point in 3D space.

Viewed from one angle, you see your word exactly as you entered it. Turn the view around, and suddenly you see a jumble of points. Keep turning it, and a completely new word morphs into view. DLS becomes SLY, and Ezuk becomes Nude. (I am not making this up; I didn't put it in the screenshot because I wanted to keep it all SFW.)

The word is always a real word, and as you can see, it doesn't just shift the letters around. You could say it's a 3D anagram of sorts.

Also, you gotta love the Engrish. As they say, "The 'DLS' that saw from side might be a 'SLY'."
