MotionPortrait

From the 'technology so scary maybe it shouldn't exist' department comes a new photo imaging product called MotionPortrait.

Originally developed by the Sony-Kihara Research Center and acquired by a new Japanese company calling itself MotionPortrait, the technology takes one photo and instantly transforms it into a fully realized 3D model that can be animated, placed into another 3D environment, synced with sound, and programmed to respond to various user input.

Here's a video example of the technology applied to an Anime character.

Think of the xxx-related possibilities. It's only a matter of time before you can go to a company, give them $1,000, a photo of yourself, and a photo of the attractive blond from your office, and 3-5 weeks later you receive a dvd in the mail of you and her getting it on! The future of porn has arrived!
