I also thought you were saying that this project was an actual implementation of Myst's fictional art of writing ages (as practiced by Atrus), as in you describe something with text and an interactive 3D world is generated that corresponds to what you wrote.
Given a limited vocabulary to describe terrain and buildings and furniture and their physical relationships, along with a database of tagged 3d object models or procedural methods of generating such, this could be done but I'm not aware of anyone having attempted to create such a thing.
Edit: Actually, I guess Scribblenauts is the closest approximation to this that exists yet.

- jared314 13y agoI've always found Scribblenauts to be a guessing game, like the text adventure games of old. You have to find the correct word to use that the machine understands. At least in an IRL role playing game you can discuss what you are talking about to get your point across.
- starburst 13y agoYou should check out Mystcraft (http://ftbwiki.org/Mystcraft http://ftbwiki.org/Mystcraft). Basically you need to find pages to write your own age, using them you can describe a Minecraft world that would then be generated, complete with linking book that you can give to other player. It's pretty fun and the closest I have ever found to recreate the experience of being Atrus.
