    I love it. It reminds me of that other software that can enhance videos by using still photos, remove foreground objects from a shot, derive 3D reliefs, etc...



    Anything (or nothing!) would be infinitely better than the crazy warp-shake effect on a lot of phones now. You try to watch the video and the whole thing's bucking and wobbling like you're looking through a gelatinous lens on a paint shaker...

    This is fantastic. Why a few years? With the sample output, I'm sure they could give us something now.

    @beyondthetech: They do have something now. It's just not a handy-dandy plugin. VFX artists at my work use Autodesk's Inferno software to track the points manually and create the same warping to the background, then usually rotoscope and stabilize the person and paste them back in afterwards.

    @TCL987: That's... a surprisingly good idea. Use a camera that records video that's larger than the end product, and crop frames accordingly so it all matches up instead of jitters.

    I can think of a certain sequel to The Bourne Identity that could have benefitted greatly from this. I think it would look really cool to intensionally shake the camera and then put the recording through this software.

    I hope it stabilizes cameras better than it did my computer because the link crashed my system. Not that there is anything wrong with image stabilization, but I have been using this crazy invention called a tripod to keep my videos looking steady. I know -- not the same thing, but it works and it is damn cheap. Just like me. (Well, sometimes I don't work - but I will save that for another time.)

    @mosammey: Isn't that the whole point of the movies? They're the new Michael Bay clan. More mindless explosions, more gratuitous action scenes, less plot, just lots of pretty pretty asplosions.

    If one were to attached an actual camera into the eye socket, I wonder how twitchy the video would actually be. The eye constantly moves around rapidly scanning around. But I'd love to see it. It'd be the perfect view from someone else's exact line of sight.

    @dambo29: A friend of the family used to have a prosthetic eye, and it did twitch a lot, though I suppose not as much as a real eye would, since it's not attached to the muscles.


    It's freaky when he put it in backwards by accident :S

    I think this story was made up by the Terminators after someone took a picture of one of them. "Oh, I'm not a robot. It's a... novelty LED prosthetic eye for, um... filming my experiences. Also, conficker is not Skynet."
