This isn’t explicitly movie related per se, but I know a lot of you are gamers, and this tech did remind me a lot of the kind used in AVATAR where actors emotions were capture for translation into CGI.
Rockstar has long been able to make impressive environments in games like GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption, but their character models have usually been somewhat lacking. But with this new tech?
