Meet Emily - Image Metrics Tech Demo (HQ)

Back


Yes you read correctly, TECH demo. She's fake. 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.

It appears they are simply at a level where the fake computer image is physically correct.. and thus the visual cortex is not sufficient on its own to establish if the image is from a camera or a CG.

I presume the voice is done by a real girl which helps fool the brain... like "the voice is real so the image is probably real too"

And the fact that her face follows the speech.

Adapt and prepare yourselves for the day such tech falls into evil hands. :-D

Do the majority of you dumbasses talking shit not realize that YouTube has something to do with DEGRADING the image?? And quit your fucking lying people. You had no idea that this was a CGI so quit trying to kid yourself and others! I see some of you morons are taking hints from Casey Anthony!
