Finding The Third Dimension

oh my god

Reminds me of Blade Runner

Wow, I have some snapshots of a girlfriend of mine I'd like to have 3d-ified... hehe

thanks. I love Glenn Gould.

It seems to me that the pathway that the camera follows is strictly limited by the information contained in the original photograph. Instances of paralax are bound to be only subtractive - meaning you see less of the object, never more. You would obviously never be able to use this technology to, say, see around a corner, or in a window-the information simply isn't present. So freely "roaming" inside a picture is out of the question, but a computer-controlled, strictly-pre-mapped flythrough is possible. Very cool, but it still doesn't fix the problem with the scene in Blade Runner the commenter above mentions, unless you conjecture that the snapshots of the future contain more information than is visible to the eye for some reason.

langoliers! THEY'RE COMING!

nerd.

LOL

Quite cool--- is it an automatic Z-channel? Hafta be some handwork there, eh? If only to extract the areas to be examined. Please post more info. Thanks!

Perhaps in the future they will be able to incorporate this with the reading of diffuse reflected light patterns to produce approximations of out-of-view areas...

"It seems to me that the pathway that the camera follows is strictly limited by the information contained in the original photograph." No shit, Sherlock. One can only work with the information available. The interesting thing is the different perspective.
