Not true?!
Please rewatch the video at the top: especially the eyebrows are quite animated, and the contours of the face also change as well as the shadows that indicate muscle movement in the phase.
- crazygringo 2y agoIt's just not looking real to me at all. Yeah there's a little bit of random movement, but none of the patterns of movement reflect the ways in which people's faces are actually expressive when speaking. They look kind of lobotomized, sure with maybe some random eyebrow raises thrown in. It's nothing like whole-face expression.
- ryandrake 2y agoI think the point of comparison should be news anchors and other "talking head" media, not real life humans emoting. Maybe it's just me, but people looking directly into and speaking in front of a TV camera about boring things also look lobotomized and uncanny. Check out your local newscasters some time and tell me they're really more realistic than these results.
