The capability to remove objects from video in realtime -- coming maybe eventually to a view near you!

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...

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.

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?
