Unwrapping the 3D with Unwrap Mosaic

This brand new technology demoed by Microsoft (Click for Video) is capable of allowing people to edit certain things onto video objects as easily as it can currently be done with digital photos.

"What we've done is built away of patterning the essence of a video in a single pattern," said Andrew Fitzgibbon, who presented the technology Tuesday at the SIGGRAPH trade show in Los Angeles. The key to that technique is that unwrapped or flattened image."

The research technology was dubbed Unwrap Mosaic. Like it name suggests, it works by unwrapping 3D objects into a sort of flat image.
Here's what I think of it. It's a great advancement, but it was to come sooner or later. Although the aspect that really differs from the editing in the movies I find quite interesting. If anybody wants to edit a face, then in the movies, it would be done by using a model of the face. But this brand new technology can edit moving video directly. Although it remains a research technology for now, we can hope that it will become widely available soon.
