Alec sent links to some amazing research being conducted at the University of Southern California in the realm of video graphics, lighting and compositing. According to the website, “The ICT Graphics Laboratory develops new techniques for creating and displaying photorealistic computer graphics of people, objects, and environments. We specialize in developing image-based methods for acquiring shape, reflectance, and motion from digital photography and video. The results are computer-generated virtual models which look and behave as realistically as possible, viewable from any viewpoint and in any illumination conditions.”

There are links to research papers, videos, online datasets, software packages, and online demonstrations. The two Alec found most interesting are below … neat stuff. Go watch the videos. You won’t believe it!
