In an astonishing talk and tech demo, software researcher Doug Roble debuts "DigiDoug": a real-time, 3-D, digital rendering of his likeness that's accurate down to the scale of pores and wrinkles. Powered by an inertial motion capture suit, deep neural networks and enormous amounts of data, DigiDoug renders the real Doug's emotions (and even how his blood flows and eyelashes move) in striking detail. Learn more about how this exciting tech was built — and its applications in movies, virtual assistants and beyond.

*_The future of technology is so EXCITING!_*
Yes – this will destroy human beings and that is pretty exciting. Humans toadays are such stupid…. no words can be find.
+TheEnd GameFL *today, *so stupid, *no words can be found
Check yourself
+Anya Mae I was just tryna say that when he was implying that this commenter was stupid because they’re excited about technological advancements in the future was hard to take seriously when they made many grammar mistakes of their own
Callie Seattle lol i don’t see the connection sorry. Everyone has flaws that make them look stupid in a certain situation, i don’t think that is relavant here. A lot of people on the internet doesn’t have even basic education so i think its quite impossible to expect that people would use grammar correctly. Im from Europe and english is my second language, Im not particulary good at it, but at this point its not my priority to improve it.
He was making a point that being excited about things that will litteraly destroy the humanity and its core identity is stupid or in my words rather delusional. And honestly i agree with that, i don’t agree or think the guy talking is stupid, that would be a misrepresentation of reality but he sure doesn’t seem to grasp the big picture where we are really going economicaly or as a society..
Omg! This is beyond incredible, it’s beautiful. This really cought me off guard and bewilders me in a very good manner.
I thought the eyes of the digidoug broke, but no, the real person stared upwards for the whole video.
Another step towards the great deception…………………………..thank you for a glimpse of the clock.
I can’t imagine playing games with one of these with real life experience inVR and simulators with real life graphics.
Ready Player One and/or Sword Art Online are just all that closer. I cannot wait to jump into a world like that.
What about Ra.One (2011) ?
Sandeep Mehta never heard of it. I’ll give it a watch though
So Jarvis… has become VISION.
Andy Serkis: “Been there done that.”
The new season of catfish is going to be wild
Omg LMFAO you speak TRUTH
Soon elections are won by the side having the best technology and it will be abused
Great for games/film… not for reality.
Cloud of danger on human being!!
Nice presentation, amazing technology, but, as he said, there are some real concerns. Virtual reality is useful, but people really prefer real reality to be more human. What’s needed is technology which takes humanity to another level of communication, caring and longevity.
It’s fun until someone gets their eye poked out … eventually they’ll produce video footage of anyone doing a serious crime and you wont be able to prove it’s not you and that you’re innocent
Yep, that’s one of the many horrible things this could be used for
Waldo from black mirror? Anyone?
I don’t know why, but my gut is telling me, that this is scary. Tell me why!
Pedophiles will have the same effects as the ones that they targets
Traywor because it is and its dangerous. there is an ai language people dont understand. and an ai citizen that wants to kill humans
Traywor because its litteraly going to be used against us, and most of humans as he said are good at recognizing reality/truth from deception/lies.. your gut it right as always…
+Cutiejuliya That is paranoid, i dont believe technology has gone so far.
I knew ML was the next step in performance capture. Glad to see progress is being made!
Man, the technology is incredible. But gotta give big props to the spokesman!
Sounds amazing, but I can’t see how it can get popular or useful for usual people
