Significant progress has been made on video - inter-frame preservation of the surface level spatial invariants in 3D environments has been achieved.
But preservation of transtemporal spatial invariants requires understanding far more than that - dynamic lighting, density, flexibility, rigidity and momentum, the viscosity of the air, the skeletomuscular system, the flow of the fluids within, and so on ad infinitum.
And a lot of that is tacitly understood by the human mind (even when the human mind would struggle to generate a scene, it can often detect that something is wrong - try turning on the lights in a lucid dream).
It's going to be quite some time before it reaches the point where a human cannot detect that video was generated (or altered) and even longer before computers can't.
But then, it's going to be a shit-show - and I'm not talking about the bestiality videos.
Evidence, as we know it, will be meaningless - the implications for the legal system are terrifying.
