Meet Emily – Image Metrics Tech Demo (HQ)
November 25th, 2011
Yes you read correctly, TECH demo. 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.

It’s the best of the best, it’s amazing.
I thought her mouth was just a little big, otherwise perfect.
Hmmm. Uh, for one, her mouth is a little slanted, but also it isn’t moving enough. Animators, squash and stretch. Open the jaw a little more. Still not perfect.
Forget the animation; what about the rendering?
the fuck is with her mouth
omg
I’ve watched it twice, both times knowing she’s CGI… and she still looks real to me. The best I can come up with is that her mouth is slightly slanted. This is… creepy.
Hold on, is EVERYTHING we’re seeing here cgi or just her face?
you guys can say what you want but i think its fukin awesome as hell!!! hellz yeahz its about damned time someone starts making some real cgi. now just make a virtual world we can plug into using cgi such as this to the 9th level of epicness and we will be in simulated heaven.
The first time I watched it, I had no idea. But on subsequent viewings, I think something about her lower teeth/lip bothers me the most. Just doesn’t… quite… look human.
@blackmagebob I agree. And at most times the mouth is crooked. Like it’s sideways or tilted down too much to where a normal human’s mouth should be.
terrifying…
She looks very cgi xD
omfg… didnt know SHE was the demo… i was waiting for her to show a demo or something lol. holy fucking shit
her skin is too perfect, in there’s not enough definition in the details. Her eyes and lips look flat.
looks like anne hathaway
uncanny valley
Her mouth doesn’t quite move right. It stretches when it shouldn’t.
No. Just no. No. No. No. No. That’s all I can really say.
I was thinking “why does she creep me out? She looks fake.”
Till I read the rest of the video description..
Objectively speaking there’s still something “off” about the CGI Emily that I can’t really articulate, but is clearly perceptible. That being said it’s already a big step up from early attempts like the infamous Polar Express zombiefest, and this video was made over 3 years ago so they’ve surely made even more progress since then. I’d say we’ll fully cross uncanny valley within 15 years.
The eyes need to be more loose they’re to solid and starry and the eyelids overlap to much, that’s what gave it away for me.
It’s only just the eyes and the skin that you can tell she isn’t all real. But effing amazing job though!
Need holographic display badly.
This video creeps me out >.<
