- ebbv 14y agoExactly my reaction. Beautiful actress but it still gave me the creeps. I think the approach of decoupling the eyes/mouth/etc. is a mistake. Our brains are trained to unite all of them and when they don't match up naturally it sets off alarm bells in our minds that something is not right.
- VikingCoder 14y agoI think you didn't watch the second video - which was better than the first.
- MiguelHudnandez 14y agoThank you -- that's what happened to me. I got seriously creeped out by the first video and wrote off the headline as misleading.
- ebbv 14y agoYou're right. Watching the Nvidia one now. EDIT: The Nvidia one was definitely less creepy but I wonder if it can really be used to say anything. It was a more limited demo. But it did seem to support my hypothesis that decoupling the eyes, etc. was a mistake because that one is using whole facial expressions together. Or at least that's what I gathered.

- Cushman 14y agoAgreed-- take a look at the second half of the second video, though. It's a lot better.
