Microsoft tech turns frantic GoPro footage into slick, stable time-lapse clips

Hyperlapse takes your footage and creates an ideal path along the 3D camera route, stitching together and blending scenes to stabilise the image throughout. It’s not perfect, as you can see with the rock-climbing footage, but the odd software artifacts seem a far better trade-off than watching something that’s bound to give you motion sickness while sitting still.

Best of all, the Microsoft Research team behind the project says that they’re working on making the algorithm available to Windows users as an app, so we may all be able to make killer time-lapse clips from our mundane bike jaunts before long.
