New technology alters perspective in selfies, generates 3D images, and more

A team of researchers from Princeton University and Adobe Research have detailed a new project in which they use a 3D computer model of a head and a virtual 'full perspective' camera to manipulate the perspective of a single portrait. The manipulations simulate various shooting distances and the warps typically seen at those depths, potentially allowing software adjustments that create selfies with corrected perspective distortion. A demo system (currently in beta) on lead researcher Ohad Fried'...
