Meet Emily - Image Metrics Tech Demo (HQ)
Uploaded by: Pikey1969
Video Description:
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.

I feel the same way you do. All of these shit talkers saying "I knew it was fake all along" or other things along those lines are full of shit!! If Image Metrics continues with this technology, they not only broke through but built a bridge over the 'uncanny valley' and 'fake' from real seems to be no more.
it seems like her mouth and smile are off
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
If I had to say if ANYTHING were off, it would be the eyes, not that they don't look real, but the blinking isn't quite fast enough. Then again, eyes are the hardest thing to get correct.
And like I said, first time through, I totally bought it, and part of me still wants to buy that it's an actress and not CG.
Awesome stuff!
