AMD Sheds More Light on Jaw-Dropping Cinema 2.0 Tech

The company showcased its technology at a recent event in New York. It presented a real-time lifelike 3D model of a woman. The demo video was so true to life that it could have as well passed as an actual video footage.
The 3D model that AMD presented was captured using hundreds of high-speed HD cameras that can capture unprecedented levels of detail. For those unacquainted with the technical intricacies of 3D animation, a 3D object’s realism is directly proportional to the level of detail its real-life counterpart is captured in.
AMD is heavily plugging its teraflops graphics chip, codenamed RV770, as more “powerful than every generation of video game console ever brought to market combined.” The next-generation of AMD chips are capable of handling Cinema 2.0.
Though AMD had last month claimed to have punched a hole in “sensory barrier separating Cinema and Games,” it is yet to demonstrate any interactive uses of the technology. However, it is expected to do that soon as its teraflops graphics chip is due at the end of this year.

If I not read the blog first I could never imagine that the lady, I’m watching here is not real just a animation!! And I’m hundred and ten percent sure nobody could understand this if they not read the blog. after reading the blog we are trying to find out the flaws and when we try so hard, definitely we will find many. I must say its awesome!

It is the mouth! I think the top and bottom teeth are to close together for the distance that the lips are opened. Other than that, it is impressive.

Her jaw looks half dropped because is looks as if she is speaking....or just about to speak.
the transition at the corner of the wall is a corner piece to cover up the line where drywall and brick meet.....its common construction practice.....otherwise you would have a gap there because drywall tape/mud does not stick to brick...
Think before you speak.....

She is looking at me naked off camera. You can see the lust in her eyes.

Her eyes are what made me realize it was an animation, that and the seam where the brick and the drywall come together, something there just doesn't look right.

Its good but not that good. As the subject says almost but not quite. As the previous poster points out its in the jaw and for my part in the mouth. The mouth just doesn't look right. I can't quite put my finger on it but it doesn't seem real and still animated look to me. KOMMANDER

My mistake, thank you for pointing it out. Actually I really meant that Cinema 2.0 will only be really unleashed in the future. And mistakenly mentioned the RV770 to be upcoming - Radeon 4850 and 4870 are already there.
