UM-Bot Posted August 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2018 A video showing a life-like humanoid robot walking up a driveway has been causing quite a stir online recently. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/320782/eerie-human-like-robot-turns-out-to-be-a-fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted August 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I am familiar with Unity... a rather impressive graphics engine. And when paired with high-end commercial graphics cards, somewhat stunning results can be presented as seen here. Having viewed many of Boston Dynamics robot vids (which are cutting edge) I could easily tell this was faked... but only because I have seen real vids of real robots... not that I'm smart or anything to know a fake. Good job. Imagine the "illusion" of video in, say, just 10-15 years from now. Won't be able to trust video on face-value at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted August 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It was proved to be a fake in November 2016 I believe. (Subtle political satire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted August 21, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Regardless, the people that made this need to be doing CGI for movies. A lot of the "B" Sci-fi movies CG still looks fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upcoming Nvidia cards should hopefully spawn some real time ray traced games though I don't expect good performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
