FAKE DOG VIDEOS
Your show dog would finish in a flash if only his side gait was better? Well just put his enhanced movement video online and send it to the judges.

They can already do this! Given a photograph, the developer of the new technology says they believe their algorithm can create a lifelike, moving avatar.
It isn’t that far out … You see it all the time in science fiction and monster movies. Actually, you’ve been seeing it for a long time in TV shows and cartoons. A series of drawings become animated creatures.
Static photo manipulation will become so lifelike you will be able to impress puppy buyers, judges, bitch owners that your dog is a moving machine! According to the LA startup that developed the technology their renderings will become “so accurate that they define reality.”
My guess is horse people will be the first animal breeders to take advantage of this new technology but I’ll bet dog people won’t be far behind.
The L.A. Times article I read gave a frightening example of how easy it is to make these fake videos. One writer said “imagine a phony video of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un announcing a missile strike.”
No thanks! I’d rather limit the new video technology to showing off our animals! Copyright © NetPlaces Network 1802 http://www.thedogpress.com/Columns/Fake-dog-videos-st18arr02.asp SSI
