Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have presented a paper with a method to realistically insert synthetic objects into existing photographs without requiring access to the scene or any additional scene measurements. The method allows for rendering synthetic objects with diffuse, specular, and even glowing materials while accounting for lighting interactions between the objects and the scene.

That looks promising. Looking forward for seeing what they will come up with the final product.
WOW what a game changer. That is if we ever see it again. Why is it this great stuff never sees the light of day? Is it the authors inability to bring it to market? Or dose the university hold it back? Or some company buys the rights and sits on the tech?
