My first thought when watching the segment where a clip from Batman is shown is, if this can be applied to movies, it may ruin some of the magic when the video picks up the microscopic motions of supposedly 'dead' characters (as the actors are still breathing and pulsing).
I think this is groundbreaking technology though -- I've read that there are subconscious responses to seeing things we like, such as a delicious food or an attractive individual of the preferred gender; a widening of the pupil or an increase in heart rate and body temperature. Devices that capture these changes can have applications in everything from marketing to security to courting.

Because you'd need fancy algorithm to believe that actors in movies aren't really dead ?
- hmsimha 14y agoI was pointing out that as cool as this is, you wouldn't realistically want to watch a movie you hadn't seen before with this kind of augmentation. Part of accepting a fictional story is suspending disbelief.. movies are designed to make this as easy for the viewer as possible. That being said, seeing a dead character breathing would disrupt that suspension of disbelief. It was the first thought that crossed my mind, but I found it interesting enough to share.
