Geeked-Out: Microsoft’s Unwrap Mosaics

The reaction I had when I saw this video could easily be summarized as a holy shit moment. Microsoft’s Unwrap Mosaics is an amazing application with the ability to fully translate video into 3D model surfaces through the use of 2D-to-2D transformation, texture maps, and object-space occlusion masks. Sound complicated? This is something you definitely have to see to believe.

The saddest thing is that researchers are actually doing this work for Microsoft, a company that hordes patents and uses them against competition among countless other evil things. Research advanced and owned by Microsoft ultimately sets back the rest of the world than if it was done for freer companies or conditions in the first place, or even delayed a few years. How can smart people in research be this shortsighted? Are they that desperate for funds that they would lock up the technology they promote in exchange? Tragic!
