I gotta say, these new Personas are good.
The previous beta ones were terrifying frankenstein monsters. The new ones fooled my boss for 30 minutes.
There's a bit of uncanny valley left, nevertheless. My persona's smile reminds of the horrible expressions people like to make in Source Filmmaker.
I have a few similar take aways:
1. The scanning is fast, it takes longer to set up a fingerprint on a macbook air. Just turning the head from side to side, then up and down, smiling and raising one's eyebrows.
2. I used the M5, and the processing time to generate the persona was quick. I didn't time it, but it felt like less than 10 seconds.
3. My cheeks tend to restrict smiling while wearing the headset, it works but people that know me understood what I meant when I said my smile was hindered.
4. Despite the limited actions used for set up, it reproduces a far greater range of facial movements. For example if I do the invisible string trick, it captures my lips correctly (when you move the top lip in one direction and the lower lip in the opposite direction, as if pulled by a string.)
5. I wasn't expecting this big of a jump in quality from the v1.

Perhaps how their heads, eyes move with this weird "fluid" effect and way too much blurred faces?
What eventually tipped your boss off? Was it the smile issue?
Must have realized the disembodied fuzzy head wasn't his hangover.
