...also an almost absurdly friendly place, and the locals - at this point at least - are patient and welcoming to the swarms of gawking visitors. There has been blanket coverage of even the most minute detail, for example, the trek of the Olympic torch as it winds its way across the country.

The cameras bounce signals off the balls and create a framework for the computer to replicate their bodies. This is called motion capture, and it tends to be used sparingly in video games to clone, say, the slam-dunk moves of an NBA player. In Fantasy, it's used for each one of the movie's estimated...
