Meet "Emily" -
Image Metrics Tech Demo ¶ ¢

Computer animation is getting
better all the time. Computer-
generated people look almost
real. But we can still usually
tell what’s real and what isn’t.

Computer animation has some
way to go before completely
fooling us. But this Video
shows that animators are
getting close.
Image Metrics is a facial
animation studio. It animates
faces for film and video games.
In this video, a woman, Emily,
explains the company’s latest
technology. She uses a lot of
industry-specific jargon. It’s
a little hard to follow. But what
she says isn’t the point.

P.S. Emily isn’t really there. The

This is truly amazing.
