Rendering Synthetic Objects Into Old Photographs

Posted by timothy on Sunday October 23, 2011 @06:19PM from the improve-on-reality dept.

First time accepted submitter IDarkISwordI writes "A new abstract headed to SIGGRAPH Asia 2011 provides a method for rapid execution of computer graphics, synthesized into photographs with accurate lighting and physics based on limited input from a user and interpretation by their code." The results are impressive; hard to watch the video demo (on linked page) without boggling.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any software available for download, only the research paper.
The release is delayed because the software is limited to only a few useful objects at the moment: Buddha Statue, Dragon Statue, Pool Table and Dead Hooker.

But I need software that can *remove* dead hookers from photos! That's the problem with academia, totally disconnected with the needs of the real world.
