This Piece Of Software,

is so neat,

with it you can take a single photograph and bring any character in it to life! it actually creates a 3D animation from a single photograph, algorithmically generated content can sometimes turn out to be hilariously nonsensical or remarkably dumb, but researchers at the University of Washington (one of whom sold her startup to Facebook) developed a system that uses machine vision to create indisputably cool 3D animations, in the paper, 

the researchers compare it to the moving portraits at Hogwarts, a fictitious part of the Harry Potter world that a number of tech companies have tried to recreate, previous attempts have been mildly successful, but this system is impressive in its ability to isolate and create a pretty realistic 3D animation from a single image,

and this is how it is done if you do not want to watch the video, easy when you know how!
