Siggraph is an annual convention where companies and universities get together and impress each other as they each increase the state of the art of computer graphics.

This year seems no different. Two papers that seemed quite interesting were one on improving the attractiveness of faces in pictures and the other on replacing the face in a picture with another one but the one that really blew me away was the one on enhancing video using static images.

Not believing what you were seing had long been limited to the big screen or individually doctored photographs, but it will soon be hard to trust almost anything you don’t personally witness.
