Embedding Video in Video
Posted in Technology on 11/14/2008 09:49 pm by Martin CortezOk, I must admit that this technology developed by some Stanfurd guys is very cool. Their examples for using this technology are mainly advertisement embedding, but I think that ads are just the beginning. The ability to detect near/far objects in a 2D, moving image, and to do so cheaply, is a major milestone for independent videos. Just couple this idea with cheap, 3D rendering software and I’m sure some film student could make a movie to rival Star Wars Episode 3. (Hmmm… I guess a kindergartner with crayons and scotch tape could make a better movie than Star Wars Episode 3, but that’s not my point.)
Oh yeah, and take off that red shirt!

That was v. cool. Watching the shadows persist over the inserted wall footage *blew my mind*.

It’s true, it did.
