Trent,
I should have added that our brain and body, by observing the mere
shape/outline of others bodies as in Matisse's Dancers, can tell not only
how to *shape* our own outline, but how to dispose of our *whole body* -
we transpose/translate (or flesh out) a static two-dimensional body
I do not agree that body mapping is necessary for general intelligence. But
this would be one of the easiest problems today.
In the area of mapping the body onto another (artificial) body, computers
are already very smart:

I think here you can see that automated mapping between different faces is
possible and the computer can smoothly morph between them. I think, the
performance is much better than the imagination of humans can be.

So you don't believe that this is possible by finding combinations of

I think it does involve being confronted with two different faces or
objects randomly chosen/positioned and finding/recognizing the similarities
between them.
If you have watched the video carefully then you have heard that they have
spoken from automated algorithms which do the matching.

When a programmer (or cameraman) macroscopic(ally) positions two faces -

After the first positioning there is no point to point matching at all.
The main intelligence comes from the knowledge base of hundreds of 3d
scanned faces.
This is a huge vector space. And it is no easy task to match a given picture
of a face with a vector(=face) within the vector space.
