Finally a way to monetize YouTube. ;)

It's pretty neat that the technology not only handles pans, zooms, and rotation, but also shadows and people walking in front of the 'screen'. It seems like a much more advanced version of the first down line for football on tv. I wonder in what other interesting ways it will be used when this can be done in real time.

Wow... This is both stunning, awesome, and scary.

If everything can be modified in the background in near realtime, how can we be assured any video is real? We probably cant already, but its just sort of an interesting realization.

There's something even more awesome at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=276294.

I never knew we were even close to being able to do stuff like this with video. These techniques are actually able to use depth-estimation algorithms to something useful. Perhaps we'll soon be able to make convincing 3D models based on video footage.

:( when I'm looking at kitten photos on a flickr clone I'd prefer not to be blasted with unblockable ads.
