First person time-lapse videos shot on personal video cameras can often look shaky, so Microsoft has developed a new method for creating silky smooth video clips.

However, Microsoft’s research labs have developed a new way to stabilise shaky video footage in order to create a super smooth time-lapse video, which they are calling a ‘hyper-lapse’. Check it out in the video above. And here’s a slightly more technical expiation of how the method works… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA4Za3Hv6ng For even more on Microsoft’s Hyper-Lapse videos, head over to the project page here.
