Computer Scientists Try to Visualize People Naked

Computer scientists at Brown University are working on software that can process video of people wearing clothes, and figure out what they look like NAKED. According to a press released issued today by Brown, "with the new 3-D body-shape model, the scientists can determine a person’s gender and calculate an individual’s waist size, chest size, height, weight and other features." Applications include fashion, film, security and sports medicine. Plus, it gives computer scientists something to do between projects. Here comes the VIDEO.

Well, this certainly has potential, but a lot more work is needed before it will be a popular adult entertainment device. I'd say it needs higher resolution, live video capability, and perhaps some anatomical guestimation analysis algorithms. I can easily see this as a feature on future video cameras.
