Rendering in milliseconds. Amazing! This technology has come a long way, as are and will many other cutting-edge technologies that are not getting much attention in the mainstream.

I always suggest keeping abreast of this gushing wave of innovation or you could wake up someday in a world you don't even understand anymore. I know that is a hyperbolic statement, but it gets the point across. Pandora's Box is opening for real and you can't but anything back in. Maybe the last thing to come out, as per the myth, will be hope?

In an astonishing talk and tech demo, software researcher Doug Roble debuts "DigiDoug": a real-time, 3-D, digital rendering of his likeness that's accurate down to the scale of pores and wrinkles. Powered by an inertial motion capture suit, deep neural networks and enormous amounts of data, DigiDoug renders the real Doug's emotions (and even how his blood flows and eyelashes move) in striking detail. Learn more about how this exciting tech was built -- and its applications in movies, virtual assistants and beyond.
