DensePose – Dense Human Pose Estimation in the Wild
I find this highly interesting from a personal perspective, as I am an author of a Personalized Advertising patent[1] from the early 2000's. I was unable to capitalize on my work, and ultimately sold the patent. Interesting to note, the month the patents' expired (due to aggressive early filing dates of my original patents) I noticed Facebook's AR Kit was released, which touched multiple aspects of what is protected by the global patents.<p>This tech is key for Personalized Advertising where consumers are inserted into still and video adverting in place of current spokespersons and side-by-side with celebrities. Advertising is about to get surreal and the fake news consumers are about to get exploited something unbelievable. "Deep Fakes" for porn is kid stuff compared to what this tech opens: Pandora's Box if you ask me.<p>[1] <a href="https://patents.justia.com/inventor/blake-senftner" rel="nofollow">https://patents.justia.com/inventor/blake-senftner</a>
