this should have more of an impact in what i do (tv commercials and technical stuff) than creative photography
but should be fun. we will probably see this on our cameras in a decade or so as the tech matures. interesting...

Well, acording to the article, they addressed a very special case of reflections in a glass pane as those seen in museum displays. All but newbie photographers know that if you flash directly into a glass window, you get reflections that partly obscure the object protected by the glass itself. Microsoft now thinks solving the problem of being a newbie can be done by advanced Fourier transformations, instead of sending the photographer to an introductory class in photography. I guess they see the opportunity to sell a special Windows Glass Edition?

probably. i see this as a proof of concept kind of thing. this will definitely end up in something that is not even related to creative photography like CCTV, defense and something else. i can see that this will be implemented on smart fones specially now that msoft owns Nokia (i loved Nokia, so it was hard for me to accept that msoft bought them)

This method requires data from a TOF (time-of-flight) camera, like the Microsoft Kinect sensor deployed in motion-sensing devices (such as game consoles). It is thus not directly applicable to our ordinary cameras.

yes,kinect! we are using that for low budget motion capture
the results are "good enough"...
