Interactive Dynamic Video

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a technology called “Interactive Dynamic Video,” which essentially allows viewers manipulate objects in videos. It uses traditional cameras and algorithms to examine the invisible vibrations of an object, thus creating video simulations users can interact with in real-time. “This technique lets us capture the physical behavior of objects, which gives us a way to play with them in virtual space. By making videos interactive, we can predict how objects will respond to unknown forces and explore new ways to engage with videos,” said MIT PhD student Abe Davis.
