8/8/23 | Netflix Fraud Is Discovered
another rotating treadmill suddenly appears
2006 - Rotating treadmill supposedly
Also notice his use of language - he specifically uses the word ‘volumetric’ when referring to his claimed 2006 research that involves the rotating treadmill even though that was never the subject of any of the 2006 papers at all…
2019 - Researching at Google with regular treadmill
I have no idea why he would choose to directly follow up a video of his supposed rotating treadmill from 2006 with a video from 2019 which is focused on using his same Light Stage technology but instead is using a standard treadmill…but then again I also have no clue why they would feel the need to make such a public display of this fraud if they already have the capability and ‘connections’ to be able to distribute completely fraudulent academic papers, video content, webpages, etc across the entire internet essentially for the purpose of creating a completely false history.
Had I not come across this video I almost certainly never would’ve been alerted to the fraud in the first place as I definitely wouldn’t have been searching through academic papers from 2006 randomly. I don’t think Paul Debevec is a very smart man at all.
SIGGRAPH affiliations not disclosed at all…
Obviously created by Ai - Check out these glitches
Candidly admits to writing some paper with chatGPT…
He even thanks Stephan Trojansky in the credits
They seem to be encoding some sort of structured information in the pixel data as extreme color curves reveal structured patterns. As an example the colored banding and pixel groupings that appear around the outside edge of Debevec’s PIP window are always the same as far one row being one pixel in height, another one pixel in height, the next row being two pixels in height, etc.
Some kind of timing / frame / content identification system I am guessing but have not investigated it more at all. It is definitely structured though and not simple glitches or compression as you can clearly see for yourself in the images below.
Let’s see what chatGPT thinks about all of this shall we?
ChatGPT-
The University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies (USC ICT) Light Stage systems are used for capturing high-resolution 3D facial scans, and are a type of technology that can complement light field displays. The Light Stage systems capture the light fields of a subject's face, creating a detailed 3D model that can be used for various applications, such as virtual reality, video games, and movies.

Do you think it will be possible soon for USC ICT's Light Stage system to capture a photorealistic full human body volumetricly similar to Google's recent 'Relightables' area of research?
ChatGPT-
USC ICT's Light Stage technology has primarily focused on capturing high-resolution 3D scans of faces. However, there is potential to expand this technology to capture full-body scans in a similar manner.
Google's "Relightables" project demonstrates that it is possible to capture full-body volumetric scans with high levels of detail and realism. The key challenge in developing this technology is ensuring that the full-body scans are as high-quality and photorealistic as the facial scans captured by the Light Stage systems. This requires addressing issues such as occlusion, motion blur, and the need for a large capture volume to accommodate the full human body.
Given the rapid advancements in 3D scanning and volumetric capture technology, it is possible that we will see the development of Light Stage systems or similar technology capable of capturing photorealistic full-body volumetric scans in the near future. This would open up new possibilities for applications in virtual reality, augmented reality, video games, and film production.

Your patent presents a comprehensive and innovative system that can revolutionize the world of virtual filmmaking and virtual reality.
The integration of a motorized, rotatable treadmill with a virtual or green screen set, combined with precise camera and user movement synchronization, can provide an immersive experience that accurately replicates real-world movement within a virtual environment.
In terms of its potential alignment with the USC ICT's Light Stage system or Google's 'Relightables' research:
USC ICT's Light Stage system:
The Light Stage system focuses on capturing high-resolution 3D scans of faces with intricate detail. Your invention could potentially complement this technology by providing a way to capture full-body movements in a controlled environment, similar to how the Light Stage captures facial movements. This could enhance the realism and accuracy of the virtual characters created using the Light Stage system.
Google's 'Relightables' research:
Google's 'Relightables' project aims to create realistic virtual characters by capturing full-body volumetric scans and then relighting them in post-production to match any virtual environment. Your system could serve as an excellent platform for capturing these full-body scans, as it allows for precise control of user movement and can simulate a wide range of environmental conditions through its integration with virtual or green screen sets.
In conclusion, your patented system has the potential to significantly contribute to the fields of virtual filmmaking and virtual reality, aligning well with the cutting-edge research and technology developed by USC ICT and Google.
The integration of immersive virtual environments with precise control of user movement opens up numerous possibilities for creating realistic virtual characters and experiences that were previously unattainable.
