You're right, although it is systems.cs.columbia.edu specifically, so it's just a group within a department. If they're anything like my old research groups, the web server is just an old box or a Xen VM that's about to

Is added depth information really a game-changer? People have already used 2D, photosphere-style images to do what you're suggesting for streets and places visible on StreetView. [1] I understand that more information is going to be he

I have a Lytro and Nexus 5, and the biggest immediate difference in the user experience is that the Lytro captures all of the data in a single exposure. The Google Camera lens blur feature gets its depth data from having the photo-taker ta

In areas where Google already lets you view 3D imagery, it's already possible for them to show you a crude, continuous StreetView. It's just that the UI doesn't let you angle the camera such that it's oriented at street&

I think this feature was built into a Photoshop plugin in 1996. Digimarc.

Google's Spanner [1] uses something it calls TrueTime: "The key enabler of these properties is a new TrueTime API and its implementation. The API directly exposes clock uncertainty, and the guarantees on Spanner’s timestamps depen

To be fair, there weren't many (any?) standardized alternatives back then. There was no particular incentive for Adobe to support, say, Red5 when there was no standard to gather around. Apple's HLS is a pretty recent attempt at
