So I guess we're just about 2 or 3 iterations away from no longer being able to trust video as evidence in a courtroom. Just gotta fix the lighting and facial issues and bam! Precedent will be set.

Very impressive improvement over Viggle. I don't know if Viggle was considered sota previously, but it's certainly had its moment of popularity at the end of last year.

Tech has come a long way since Monty-Python style JibJab from 2004.

First of all, this looks very impressive (besides that it will be used for memes, haha), but can someone explain why the faces and movements look almost cartoon-like?

Besides just being really cool, what are some of the clearest use-cases for this?

Wonder if they're planning to release code.

I imagine some opensource player will try to recreate their model themselves too.

Unreleased models should not be treated as interesting

I really wouldn't use Donald Trump as an example character model...
