Fascinating news from Microsoft Research: we can fix your shaky GoPro time-lapse footage.

The technique is called Hyperlapse and they say an application is coming soon, perhaps in a few months.

Better yet, they show you how it’s done.

My take: thanks for sharing, Microsoft. I love that you’ve released the technical know-how as well. I predict a Google Street View-style multiple camera rig capturing overlapping footage to generate a rich ‘picture-scape’ combined with this software to create immersive, real-time, viewer-defined camera movement. Movies, meet video games.
