Uncanny valley or not. Wow. Just goddamn WOW.

Soon they’ll integrate motion capture on the end of every headset microphone and our avatars will be able to lip sync what we say to our friends. I wonder how bandwidth intensive that would be?
Yay, we might finally get realistic animation on faces in games.

Using mo-cap for animation is kind of like cheating. Its like making a cartoon by tracing livemotion video.
Nevertheless, the results are impressive.
