Meet "Emily" -
Image Metrics Tech Demo ¶ ¢

See full size image




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.

(I don’t want to spoil it for you.
Watch the video now and then
check comments.)

    P.S. Emily isn’t really there. The
    character’s face is computer generated.
    She looks real, doesn’t she? I watched
    this several times. The real Emily
    appears at 1:30. Her computer-
    generated face is a near match.
    This is truly amazing.
