It would have to be limited to video, the filing date is 2009 and this was 
presented at SIGGRAPH 2007. Jesus fuck, and they even *reference* that prior 
art in the very first "Other References"!!

Gee, I wonder what douchebag owns this patent? Oh look, it's "Don't Be Evil" 
Google...Why am I not remotely surprised? (Hint: "publically traded 
corporation" together with "don't be evil" is complete fucking 
contradiction, by their very definitions. Always has been, always will be.)
