Remember the awesome image deblurring technology Adobe showed off during Adobe MAX 2011? Check out the video above. The official videos from Adobe is now available for consumption.

The sneaks are intended to give Adobe MAX 2011 attendees a look at future technologies. These technologies may, or may not, make it into future versions of Adobe products. The demos are currently being hosted on AdobeTV, and include:

  • Image Deblurring – removing blurriness from digital photos caused by camera shake while the pictures were being taken;
  • Local Layer Ordering – a new way for graphic designers to create layered compositions that better reflect the way real world objects act;
  • InDesign Liquid Layout – using InDesign to create high quality magazines that automatically adapt layouts across devices and screen orientation;
  • Near Field Communications in Adobe AIR – using Adobe AIR to create applications that communicate with the physical world;
  • Automatic Synchronization of Crowd Sourced Videos – synchronizing video clips taken with different cameras and from different vantage points into a single immersive video;
  • Reverse Debugging in Flash Builder – the ability to step backwards in time while debugging a Flash application to better find the root cause of bugs;
  • RubbaDub – automatically replacing the dialog of a video clip with separately recorded audio with perfect synchronization;
  • Pixel Nuggets – searching through a large library of images by identifying images that contain the same people, backgrounds, landmarks, etc.;
  • Monocle – a new visual tool to help developers find and fix performance problems in Flash applications;
  • Video Meshes – an entirely new way to edit videos, including the ability to create 3D fly-throughs of 2D videos and change focus and depth of field;
  • GPU Parallelism – using a device’s graphic processing unit (GPU) to accelerate performance of general purpose computing.
I’m excited for the future of Adobe, and the possibilities of what the creative industry can gain from all these new technologies.

You know those impossible TV-magic image sharpening software that FBI agents seem to all have and use whenever they have a super low resolution zoomed up image and they try to sharpen it? Well, this isn’t it. But it’s close enough. This new feature, and we all secretly hope it’ll be out in the next version of Photoshop, will take your blurry image and unblurs it. Even blurry text can now be unblurred to make it readable.

Amazing. I want.
