Instead of simply stitching video together using every tenth frame of a standard video, the software relies on intelligent algorithms to create more stable output, reducing the jumpiness often seen in time lapse films: To make the video both speedy and smooth, the researchers came up with an algorithm that first creates an approximate 3D model of the landscape being filmed, and then identifies the dominant path that the camera took through that landscape. Kidding aside, Hyperlapse does use some interesting technology from Microsoft Research. Slow motion video not your thing? No worries because Microsoft has a new high-speed, time lapse application for Windows Phone and select Android handsets.ĭubbed Microsoft Hyperlapse, the free software creates video with such fast action videos at up to 32 times normal speed quick enough to make you think you just drank a pot of coffee.
