Meet Emily - Image Metrics Tech Demo (HQ)

Yes you read correctly, TECH demo. She IS the demo.

Until the 1:30 mark when they revert back to the source (the real actress), her entire face is being simulated by the technology.

Peace out uncanny valley!

ps. Thanks to perrygood&true for the HD source material for this upload.
ps2. Fyi, Times Online broke the coverage on this particular before any other site. Give them some clicks.

But will it blend?

[watarukannuzuki]

The eyes are a dead giveaway, the brows movements are too smooth and flowing, they're not quick and jerky like normal eyebrows. Also, the eyes don't really look like "spheres" they look more like flat paintings on a mask.

I don't think the mouth-weirdness was the software's fault, at least not entirely; she seems to press her lips into a slant just fine on her own.

You're getting close... but I'm not sure; the uncanny valley is a long and dangerous trip.
