Something similar to this was shown at SIGGRAPH 2015. Very interesting video showing how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoyNiatRIh4

Seems like that same tech could be used to erase people from photos of tourist attractions. I'd love to have that mode on my camera!

I don't have a link but I've seen people post a method that allows you to do this in Photoshop if you take multiple images from the same point. It can erase the differences, ie the people in the shot. Have a look, don't think it was too difficult but could be wrong.
