There are many examples I can think of as well. I did not say it would be
simple and it most certainly will not be. However, the possibility still
is a very real one. Is it an automatic process, NO. It would be labor
intensive as technology develops.

However, if the past is any guide, if there is money to be made, the
process will also be created. But most of what we have today also would
be debated both ways as well. All it takes is Power, Time and Money and I
see no problem creating a system that can recreate a missing view. No, it
will not be something any of us will have on their desktop.
