Jul 29, 2011 - Okay, I've only got one question: If you need to record an actor/model/whateva, and then render it into CGI, why would you? You're already recording something, just to go trough the process of rendering it into CGI and make it slightly creepier!

Sep 13, 2011 - The beat at 2:47 is the beat from the diabeetus remix.

Nov 12, 2011 - VR = Virtual Reality The concept of using computer animation to simulate real life.

Nov 16, 2011 - So they can change it in the computer. You just map certain emotions and then use those basic parts to make the video game. You don't map out every single thing.

Nov 22, 2011 - There are times when you're right, but when you do it this way, you can choose to render it at any angle that you want, and you can put other touches without using movie makeup etc.

Nov 23, 2011 - for video games and such, to make them much more realistic.

LikaLaruku Says:

Dec 23, 2011 - It's so blurry.

Also, how many actors actually get plastic surgery performed just to look younger, this way there would be no need for surgery and you could actually adjust their performance just like in animation.

Jan 16, 2012 - ACTUALLY... a friend of mine queued the video up... I didn't see the intro... and let me tell you... it gave me the willies

Jan 25, 2012 - cool clip thanks for sharing ..

EeeScape Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - They still haven't. But all the studies never state that it hasn't improved. Just that "something quite not right" with Emily. In the pit of the Uncanny Vally, you automatically cringe and it's universally recognized as non-human, even if it on the surface looks human. Emily looks human, but something is not quite right. That's what they mean when people say "still have not overcome the Uncanny Valley."

EeeScape Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - Also, Pre-knowledge does give the viewer a short cut to the truth. But there's another factor that is missing. And that's time length. Make a person watch emily, without pre-knowledge, for a longer period of time most people would be able to spot characteristics that aren't quite right.

Feb 26, 2012 - video games!!!!!!!!!!!thats why they are going through the trouble when they could just use a real actor instead!AND it has soo many future uses narrow minded people like you always got in the way of progress

instigatordj001 Says:

Mar 1, 2012 - Brilliantly done looks real.

TheAwesomeRueShow Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - You're right!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't read that thing before I watched it, and I didn't know it was fake. So I didn't think anything was off. I didn't give it a second thought. She looks so real! But then when I saw it again, knowing she wasn't real. It seemed different. So you're right.
