Default Re: Computer Technology Question (Virtual Imagery)

[ QUOTE ]
How many more years do you think it will take before computer-generated images (of people) in movies will be undetectable?

My unprofessional guess would be 10 or 15 years, maybe 20.

About two years ago I saw this baseball video game at a computer store, and for more than a few seconds I was fooled by the players on the field. The players looked almost real, I was very impressed. I asked the guy how long it would be before you couldn't tell the difference between digital images of people and real people. Very confidently he said, "Two Years." Well it's two years later and I think most people can still tell the difference.
