Real-Time Face Capture and Reenactment

Give this technology just a little bit more time and it will be HD:



And thanks to 82_28 for hipping me to this Philip K. Dick book on the implications of this same subject:

…The government and war engine remains on the surface; the elite "Yance-men". Their president, Talbot Yancy, delivers inspirational speeches to the tankers, motivating them to increase their production of leadies and win the war. The war does eventually end. However, the Yance-men design a conspiracy to maintain the wealth of the Earth for themselves. Yancy continues to describe devastation in televised speeches. The tankers continue to produce leadies.

Talbot Yancy is actually a computer generated simulacrum. The Yance-men program him from the "Agency" in New York. They live in immense villas on private parks, called "demesnes". The leadies are actually used by the Yance-men as personal servants and to maintain their estates. The Agency is run by the most vicious and greedy Yance-man, Stanton Brose, who is kept alive by pre-war artificial organs which he hoards.…

Relax...





" There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to — The Outer Limits.

Skip to the 40 minute mark on this Twitch stream for a very impressive take on a real-time virtual actor:

A few years ago this stuff would have taken hours or days to render, now it's real time and rendered on the fly by a gaming rig (a really expensive one, but still). :shock:

Works fine for me, but it's an eight hour video.

Anyway - it's this trailer being shown at GDC (Game Developers Conference) for a live audience, with the character being played in real time by an actress wearing a face capture rig. After the trailer the virtual character talks to the presenter and sings a bit of a 'Frozen' song.

Totally. I just saw some clip on Colbert of drumpf and since I had seen that which Luther posted earlier I totally immediately wondered if it was real. :shock:
