Geez. Techies trying to come up with tech solutions to fundamentally non-tech problems. The photogtapher can just zoom in or get closer to the object to crop the image before it's even taken.

Oh you now want a 360 degree shot to prove this didn't happen? Well then they stand behind a tree or a car or some other object to hide parts of the scene behind. etc. etc. There is no technical solution to this problem.

It makes the attack in article not possible and eliminates common fakes in existence right now. Perfect is the enemy of good.

At huge cost and essentially nonexistent benefit I'd say that crappy is also an enemy of good.
