I saw elsewhere someone astutely point out how dangerous this is, legally.
People use cell phone photo evidence in court cases all the time. Shortly, those may be being called into question as being entirely accurate.
What? All of the photo is real. It’s just taken like 50 frames over a second or two and chosen the best. Since it sees 3 “people” it chooses the best for each “person” which leads to those 3 not being from the exact same, but still close enough.
I can’t imagine very many photos in evidence being like “well we can see you were holding the knife , actively stabbing toward them and also that they were stabbed to death by the knife, but I mean who knows WHAT could’ve happened in the one second the phone took the picture it stitched together to create this.”
Not to mention the phones still store all of the photos it took, so you could reference the original images that produced these composite images. Though I believe backups generally don't store them all.
