			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m loosely following the technological advances in a few sectors that are not directly related to the topics I write about at Ghacks. This includes advancement in new input technologies like Microsoft&#8217;s Surface but also character animation and robotics.</p>
<p>Maybe once or twice in a year I come upon something that is so fascinating that I have to applaud. Meet Emily is one of those situations. Some of you who follow this tech sector more closely might have seen the video already, for those who have not read on.</p>
<p>I do not want to spoil the fun and would like to ask you to view the video below and hear what the interview is all about, a description of the technology. Once that is done scroll down to read the rest of the article.</p>
<p><span id="more-6518"></span><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bLiX5d3rC6o&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bLiX5d3rC6o&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>It&#8217;s impressive is not it? The interview did look a bit unreal but not enough to convince me that Emily was in fact not a real person but a computer model. Here is another video making use of the facial motion technology of <a href="http://www.image-metrics.com/">Image Metrics</a>.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3b0R-N6ZQO4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3b0R-N6ZQO4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>That&#8217;s fascinating in my opinion. Many game publishers have been among the first to become clients of Image Metrics but you also find television and movie makers as well as advertisement companies amongst them.</p>
