Its a bungee jump into uncanny valley: exciting, but how many times would you pay, and who has more fun? you, or your friends watching?

#12It looks impressive, I just don't understand why computer games don't use these techniques to feature realistic human bodies/faces.

#13This is incredible! I wonder if seeing yourself dance like this might speed up learning to actually dance like this...
I doubt it. Almost nobody learns to dance without a coach. It's because what you think you see is not what the movement actually is. Much of dance is playing with your perception of the movement (the moonwalk is the most obvious example, and very, very few moonwalkers can pull off the illusion).

You appear to be shadowbanned. Most of your (reasonable-looking) comments are showing up as dead to me.

#15Oh man, the first company to put this in a mobile app is going to blow up.
(I guess it might take a few years for the performance to get there)

I don't think this can run on real time on current hardware yet, so it would only work for pre-rendered cutscenes

#17I could see this being used in the same way that auto-tune type effects are added to singers voices. The editing of music videos could include a tool like this to make sure all of the dancers behind the main one are moving just right.
And just like auto-tuned voices, it will come off as janky and fake.

#18Very impressive!
I'm a bit disappointed though that they didn't also include results for a synthetic source video with "impossible" poses (e.g. joints bending backwards, stretching, separating from the body or performing full rotations). That would have been pretty interesting (though perhaps a bit unsettling) to see.

Practically all singers use "pitch correction", which is essentially "autotune that's not done for artistic effect".
If done properly, it's not really janky or fake sounding at all.

Did you notice the hands in the video? I don't think computer games can accept that level of error. I would ask again in a decade, when this technique is more viable. Until then, I feel game developers will still need humans to do the work.
