Nvidia unveils next-gen face-rendering technology

@JustinKnight17 @zenogandia The thing is, there wont be enough money to be made, because of the pricing they'd need to profit from it. Its the same reason the next-gen games are costing 10-15% more. I dont even want to think about what a game like this would cost, if every model they had in the game would need this kind of attention.

Gatsbythepig's comment is really strange, but I don't think you have it either.  The experience that is the "uncanny valley" is simply that our familiarity with the human appearance makes artificial creations of it unsettling to take in.  That while it can be quite close to looking/acting like a human, there's still something off about it, and it makes you feel uneasy.  The uncanny valley is a close approximation of what we believe looks and acts like a human, but it's never perfect enough to fool us.  Instead, it just weirds some people out.

I'd say the least I can describe my own feelings towards it, is simply the recreation is never perfect and you can always easily tell the wrongs and faults put into a human recreation.  It never makes me feel off, but it's just easily noticeable that it's not real.  

As far as people in general go, I think most gamers feel the same way as well, since we're use to humans in games not looking or acting quite right, but we accept it because we expect it in games that it's not always going to be spot on.  If you get non-gamers to watch games they tend to react more negatively to depictions of human characters in games (especially cut-scenes) and will speak out more often than those actually playing the games will.  The same people probably tend to react more harshly to CGI in movies as well.

@Metronoid i am not a fan of console or pc just i am sharing my thoughts .i am having psvita ps3,pc and i play on all.just what i am saying that cost gives the quality and i believe at the end the only mateers is good exclusive games.consoles create more cexclusives games & thatswhy people buy them.infact now also ps4 is spc friendly but i am having doubt that all the developers will port those games to pc because then console will be in loss.thatswhy console are trying to give some competition to pc in terms of socail ,video and using other features like motion tracking etc.at the end games matter...:) cheers

@Ravenlore_basic  I would imagine it's not that hart to implement these visuals onto PS4, because we had L.A. Noire back in 2011. that game show some very great technology for realistic face expressions and if you were to combine that tech with either the fox engine or the new square enix engine, then most probably we would get the same result as this guy in my video. the only problem is that developers apparently can't handle new graphical engine quite well. nowadays we have to wait a long time for some of the games to come out. for example while ID software used their ID tech 4 engine, they were able to produce annual game from 2004 to 2009, but now they have to struggle with the technology and the have only made one game with that engine in 2011 and we are still waiting for news regarding the next game, but there is none

@princetom I hope too, the great of developers is the art they create in their engines !

@Double-Ego Personally I think I guy with two empty sockets would be much more creepy! :P

@placksheep @princetom these NVIDIA demo characters look more cartoonish, then realistic. they look like something out of one of those animated movies for kids. this character is more realistic then anything I have ever scene in a tech demo. When I saw this demo for the first time, I was completely speechless. the most mind-blowing fact about this demo is that it's over 2 years old or even more. back then games didn't even look anything like this (but they still don't). This is what the next gen gaming should look like, because this animation capture the human features perfectly, including the skin, because gaming was problematic in the skin department and still is. the facials, the the haircut, the moving parts of the face are all perfectly executed. NVIDIA's demo showed more of a artistic style for games based on cartoonish art styles, but if this is what they are trying to throw as something toward realism gaming, then this demo ain't got shit on next gen. plus the ears on the bald guy look really fake

@Imperiacommando @Ultramarinus They should either port it from the PC or make the version with up to date graphics rather than just a texture bump.

@Metronoid @kangsta1111 Of GDDR5? I want that notebook, that or the crack you are smoking. No PC has that much GDDR5 in it period!
