Yes they can...check out their main page. There's a high quality streaming video with a rendered face and the actor in a pip box.
The rendered face definitely has uncanny valley written all over it, but it's pretty good. Still need proper skin deformations and light scattering, but they're getting closer.
That's all well and good, but you've still not returned that $20 bill I dropped in '98.
That's because times have changed. Had he remembered to return it back then that would be fine, but now a days, there's far more likelihood that you'd sue for the interest plus damages...and win a million dollars! Yay litigation!
I'd just connect a camera to the bottom of my camcorder (they both have a spot for mounting).
Then just have the still camera do continuous shooting @ ~1fps while you video. Match them up in this software when you're done and you're good to go...now if I could just get a hold of their software.
Can someone explain this to me and why I should be interested?
If it works as I believe it works (i.e. the stitching is automagic), then tagging two photos with GPS coordinates should be sufficient to tag all of the photos with fairly accurate (two so you have orientation, or just one with direction as well as location).
Depending on what you want to do with this, you may or may not be excited. I've got a lot of photos that simply do not capture the scale of some of the things I've seen. Not that the photos are bad, just that the medium they're expressed through (i.e. a 2-d photograph) simply isn't enough. Climbing a mountain, being in a huge stadium, and so on. This would allow you to have a fly-through of the area.
Not interested in that reason? How about this one. Do you like GTA? Imagine the realism that could be added to the games if someone with a camera could just drive around your city snapping photos and this could automatically build a level for you.
Maybe you'd like to design a garden for your home, wouldn't it be nice to have a full blown 3d representation of it so you could just drop plants in where ever instead of having to get several photos and photoshop each one?
If you take all the photos from a trip (and if you take the photos frequently enough), you could follow yourself around where you went. It'd be great for explaining some stories (as a good visual aid).
These are just a few things of the top of my head, and I still haven't had my coffee...speaking of which...
Did anyone else notice that the screen changes layout based on the opening of the keyboard, not orientation.
I can understand not reading the article, but not taking the time to watch a video is just sad.
so what they're really saying is that the mechanism for distributing peoples public keys and the trust around those keys so signatures could be verified
Not likely, youtube transcodes anything uploaded, so unless you've got a way to slip the code past a transcode and subsequent wrap into a.flv, then you're not going to hone your pwnage.
Now as for taking down some youtube servers using this exploit, while it's unlikely, is definitely more possible. Though I'd imagine their transcoders aren't written to execute code if a supposed videostream is mislabeled.

I didn't mod you, but I'd have said it was your delivery. Being a jackass doesn't win you positive karma, regardless of you message.
Don't believe me? Did being called a jackass get you a little riled up? Did you miss the rest of the message on your first read?
Such a whooshing sound has not been heard in these parts for a long time.
methinks Estragib may need to make such remarks so as not to leave his intentions in the dark next time...I'm just sayin...
Sounds like a good premise for a game.

wait...what were we talking about?
Take the video at about qvga resolution, map on the high quality still and voila, you've got HD video on the cheap!

You should get out of Austin more often.
...you'll need to read through an infinity of worthless crap before you find it.
So they'd write every other play first?
wait for it...wait for it...

Yeah, it's like if you end your sentence before.

The cost will be reduced sharply as supply grows
