There is a lot of interesting work related to computation using shapes in the Shape Grammar[0] field. With shape grammars, rather than using computer vision to parse the pixels, computation can be done using the intrinsic properties of shapes. There is some great work being done at Georgia Tech in Dr. Economou's Shape Computation Lab[1]. For beginners, they have created an unsigned binary adder using purely shape representations as numbers[2].
