Um, this isn’t a real lady. Like, whoa:

“Extraordinarily lifelike characters are to begin appearing in films and
computer games thanks to a new type of animation technology.

Emily– the woman in the above animation– was produced using a new
modeling technology
that enables the most minute details of a facial
expression to be captured and recreated.

She is considered to be one of the first animations to have overleapt a
long-standing barrier known as ‘uncanny valley’– which refers to the
perception that animation looks less realistic as it approaches human
likeness.”
