    So in other words, that wasn't a real person?

    Don't believe it for a second.

    It's true... although it's just the face that's animated in this demo

    Video: Lifelike animation heralds new era for computer games - Times Online

    "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."

    That makes a little more sense then. Her face did seem a little fake, but i thought the body was way to real to be fake

    the eye blinks struck me as unnatural - but a very interesting video none the less. I would have guessed it was not an animation - and still find it hard to believe its 100% animated ie I don't think it was either.
