In Human Likeness – Computer Generated
How will you distinguished a real person from a computer generated one. Well that’s really easy. You will notice their textures, eye movement and how they project or body motion. Observe Emily in this video. Emily is a totally computer generated female animation and it’s hardly to believe that she’s almost in a form of human likeness. The team behind Emily’s computer generated animation was also the team behind the famous Grand Theft Auto computer games The “Image Metrics”
Emily - the woman in the above animation - was produced using a new modelling technology that enables the most minute details of a facial expression to be captured and recreated.
She is considered to be one of the first animations to have overleapt a long-standing barrier known as 'uncanny valley' - which refers to the perception that animation looks less realistic as it approaches human likeness.
