Emily - Crossing the Uncanny Valley - Blu-ray Forum

This reminds me of Lightstage (part of Cinema 2.0) for ATI's new 4800 GPU. ATI takes a slightly different approach to crossing the uncanny valley. They just capture all the data sets of the actual person and renders that person digitally.

Personally, I believe both approaches are in PS4 territory, but I guess we'll find out, at least, by 2011. The future of game graphics look bright indeed!

Somehow my instincts tell me that this is real, no way they can animate this realistically. I suppose that reason says this is really CGI but wow

The mouth. Still not there. The rest of the movements are spot on.

Skin is still a little too waxy looking and the eyes kind of move a little to freely inside her head, but the animation/mannerisms are dead on. This is a huge step forward. Show me a runner jogging and stretching and then I'll be impressed.

Agreed, but the Youtube video, in my previous post, about AMD/ATI's Lightstage (1:10 in the video) has it down pat. However, I'm pretty sure they're throwing a lot more brute force at solving that issue.

The real "Matrix" is slowly but certainly coming ...

If you didn't know she wasn't real initially, it would take a few seconds to figure out something wasn't right.

That was kind of my reaction when I first heard about Home. This is just another gradual step...

Agreed. The mouth was what ruined my suspension of disbelief - rather stiff and inorganic looking.
