First Look At The Michael Jackson's Opus Book! Amazing New Technology Revealed!

Filed under: Michael Jackson

We told you about the Michael Jackson Opus book some time ago, which is a massive book dedicated to the life and music of MJ and one of the last projects Michael oversaw personally.

What we had no idea about was this brand new technology that creates live action on paper!

Watch the clip and see what we mean (above)!

It's incredible.

      Surely a gruesome hag like you has The Daily Prophet delivered to your troll hole…pun not intended, but suitable…

      I work at Best Buy and they used this technology for the cover of their ad a few weeks ago. You could log on to the best buy website and hold up the cover of the ad and the website would recognize your webcam and when you held it up, it turned into a 3D version of the laptop they had on sale

      Not new technology, but becoming more popular….sports cards have been doing this for a little while now, so there is nothing "BRAND NEW" about it fatboy…get your facts straight.



    8. 8

      This was on tv like 2 months ago…



    9. 9

      thats amazing! whoa.

      Honestly that technology is not that impressive.
      All it does is use image recognition (nothing new) and then impose the video onto that image.
      Besides who wants to sit in front of a PC holding some card in front of your webcam just to watch a vid with diminished video quality?



    11. 11

      woah buddy thats awesome ! i want oneee !



    12. 12

      I don't know how new the technology is and frankly, I don't care… they're gettin' all my money. Two things I'm a sucker for: MJ and cool gadgets.



    13. 13

      Ok the picture was kind of cool.. but isn't a little too convenient that they met with him days before his death to create an opus?



    14. 14

      THATS AMAZING!



    15. 15

      Always the pioneer…MJ rules!!!



    16. 16

      I don't even understand what it's doing.



    17. 17

    18. 18

      These two losers look like they're on the set of "Family Feud."

      The the moving image appears on the computer screen via the webcam, you moron. It's not appearing on the paper.



    28. 28

      cool



    29. 29

      Hmmm…I kinda don't get it…So you have to put it in front of a computer to work?

      I'M DEFINETELY GETTING ONE



    31. 31

      HE'S DEAD AND HE'S NOT COMING BACK.



    32. 32

      I knew there was no such thing as the paper doing it on its own. I was like did I just slip into an alternate reality or something.



    33. 33

      Re: lastdaytricle – No really? We all thought that his character in "Thriller" was actually realistic… Your point?? Michael is no longer here in the present but his legacy and spirit will always be here. "He's Not coming Back" How about you tell yourself that everytime you hear one of his songs, or see one of the many people that he influenced speak highly of him, or you see one of the countless tributes that have yet to be put on, or tell yourself that this upcoming Sunday when millions around the world flock to their computers or their local theatres to get a glimpse into what it was that Michael was working so hard on (you might be one of those people). Michael will be here forever so deal with it. No person as talented and as wonderful a person as he was will ever be forgotten.

      this is NOT new technology! Its been around for a while used in advertisments and stuff. Its just more well known now cause MJ is using it.



    35. 35

      FAKE.

      that's actually called motion tracking.. it's really really obvious! LOL. nice try perez!



    36. 36

      What's the big deal? If I want to see MJ dance I just go to Youtube..lol
      (and both my hands are free) Seems like a big gimmick to me and kinda dumb.



    37. 37

      i want one i want one i want one mmmoooommmyyyy!!!!



    38. 38

      This looks stoopid. If I'm holding something up to the computer screen, how can I see it?



    39. 39

      HOLY SHIT! that is amazing!!!!!! moving pictures now! what next?! i want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    40. 40

      i want that book.



    41. 41

      AWSOME!!! i want one



    42. 42

      WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    43. 43

      Just read the comments re the baseball cards already having this technology. My WOW was induced re for personal use someday, I could see families using that to send clips to relatives of the kids, etc.
      -
      Interviews? Will resumes of the future have one of those? Lord, you have to wonder about the applications.



    44. 44

      I ordered it already. Woho!



    45. 45

      PEREZ: THAT IS NOT BRAND NEW TECHNOLOGY (IS KIND OF OLD TECHNOLOGY). PEOPLE THE IMAGE IS NOT MOVING!!! THE WEBSITE RECOGNIZES THE PICTURE BIENG CAPTURED BY THE CAMERA AND PLAYS A VIDEO IN THE IMAGE OF THE PAPER NOT IN THE PAPER!!! PEREZ THIS TECHNOLOGY WAS ALSO USED BY CNN DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL EECTIONS(MANY, MANY, TOO MUCH TIMES!!!…). ALSO IF THAT TECHNOLOGY ALREADY EXIST THE MAN IS NOT SAYING THE CONTRAIRY HE JUST SAID THAT IT IS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT IS GOING TO BE USE IN A BOOK!!

      I wish I could get the Opus book! it will be on my Christmas list.
