You need to look at the video accompanying this post. It’s an animation using a new 3D technology that renders an image so real you will think you’re looking at a real person. If I was one of those highly paid TV anchorpeople or a commercial actor, I would be very worried.

Remember, the “Emily” you see in this demo is not real.

The demo comes from a company called Image Metrics, a Hollywood outfit that has done animation and special effects for some of the Harry Potter films and popular video games like Grand Theft Auto.

The possibilities of this new animation technique are amazing.
