I wrote a blog about a new way of creating Captchas by using 3D images that Taylor Hayward, a blogger, came up with and thought it would be really cool when implemented. Now, 3D Captchas seem to have become a reality--however, not from Hayward.
Incidentally, the folks at YUNiTi.com, a social Web site, have been working on the same idea for a few weeks and have implemented the method on their Web site.
The site announced Wednesday that it has created a 3D Captcha method that is unbreakable by current computer technology, yet much easier for humans to identify.
So, if you're blind, will clicking the icon actually say "toilet"? And if it does, how's that going to not get broken in an amount of time require to analyze the sound of the word and match it to the Capcha?
And why is Captcha capitalized now? These are questions that need answers, and I'm ready to give them to you. They are, respectively:
1. No
