I don't think that's even a gleam in someone's eye yet

The selfie-stick footage shows faces and bodies in real time. There's no software yet doing real time generation of human movement. -- Drew

Changing perspective on the movement of limbs seen from on top of someone's head into seeing them from in front or behind is a big enough ask, but I suppose it can be done... But from up there, the camera doesn't see his face at all. Duh! -- Christian R.

Four of them with four cameras (or two of them with really wide angle but that would add to the computer stitching so I would use as many cameras and mirrors as possible) and you can get mostly everything. Software should be able to do the rest but that's got to be some serious compute power and algorithmic brilliance as it joins it all together, reverses for front camera, looking back at your face viewpoint, combined with flipping all the traffic and joining it with the other camera viewpoints in the non-body portion and upside down flipping your body and stitching it all together. Hey Drook, it's a gleam in my eye. Nah, that's the glassiness from smoking pot. It's a pipe dream. But someone else could do it. I don't actually do anything anymore, I'm more of an idea rat.

When it looked like something good was happening, they'd hit the button and they'd all fire at once. Then they could rotate the view and see it from all angles. I immediately imagined putting 4-8 cameras - video, not still - around the court and use software to simulate intermediate views. Picture they can spin a dial to select a location for a virtual camera. -- Drew

Apparently so), the hat-cam, possibly with mirrors, is the right use case. -- Christian R.
