Just wait until they make these things interactive and able to be touched. Every man in Japan will become instantly useless.

Pretty cool tech, though. Looks pretty life like from a short distance away.

It's cool : )

Watching this one, you can see the screen it's projected on a little better when the camera is zoomed out more:

I different singer. What amazes me is how active the crowd is with their glow sticks.

Found another story about digitized peeps.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIpYpRobez4

I wonder how soon before on screen stars will be fully digitized. Above vid takes parts from multiple women and creates a frankengirl
The great pretender

The fact is that yes, she looks exactly like the others. Literally. The big eyes, the juicy lips, the perfect cheeks, the cute chin, the blinding smile and the angelical look belong to the other six member of AKB48. Eguchi Aimi is not a real person, she has been composed in a computer using parts from her fellow band members. Her fans, who are legion, just learned about it this week, when this shocking video demonstrating the process, was published in YouTube. They just couldn't believe it and you won't believe it either:

Make sure to watch it full screen, because the synthesis and post-production work that have gone into Eguchi is simply uncanny. Taking 150 gigabytes of memory, she's the perfect example of the world we are headed to, in which men and machine, "reality" and "reality" will collide in a new way that would make humans blend into the digital world and the digital world come into flesh and bones.

And while the Eguchi Aimi phenomenon may be just anecdotical, the fact that a synthetic creation has been able to make their fans to have crushes and feelings without them never realizing she was a figment of someone's imagination, a digital mutant mix, is not a simple anecdote. That's very real. When people perceive such a being as real, and that being causes an emotive response in them, then that makes that character part of reality. It has an tangible impact on their worlds. The physical world which, at the end of the day, is just synthesized by our brains from our senses (which are just arbitrary signal input devices).

I can imagine cheap movie produces paying people peanuts for the use of just parts of their face or bodies and then combining them all to save money.
