It'd be ideal for removing branding from things.  Or eradicating "blemishes" and "blight".

Next time you see a reporter "on-location", you can ask yourself how many people were really behind the reporter...

Because the power to photoshop away unwelcome truths is totally going to make us saner, safer, more realistic, and less emotionally fragile as a society.

Well, it was only a matter of time.

I'm thinking it could be a fun thing though.

Live video-DJ remixes anyone?

As long as it can't be put inside my head, it's probably fine.

But imagine if it was.

Viruses that edit out warning signs.  Police programs that make cops invisible.

Crouching Matrix, Hidden Barstool.

If people start wearing video-glasses or something similar I imagine that will be soon to follow.

Fine then, if NORMAL people start wearing video glasses

What glasses do you have? Are they expensive?
