We are all getting older , but she is human.
Did you ever think that Data from Star Trek, was a real android.......he was just an actor, and played the part well.
At first glance, Saya looks like your average Japanese schoolgirl.
However, there is something unique about her - she isn't real.
These incredible images are actually computer generated, showing off the latest in computer animation techniques.

I believe the only thing standing between indistinguishable CGI characters and them being in movies and on the air is computing power, RAM and powerful enough GPU's to make rendering feasible. The tech is there already, but the costs of rendering the huge number of frames, polygons and believable lighting is just around the corner.
The detail needed to fool the human eye is extreme.

An incredibly 'life-like' android appears to show how the line between woman and machine is starting to disappear.
Footage captured at this year's Tokyo Game Show has already amassed three million views on one video-sharing platform alone, but not everyone believes their eyes.
A fierce debate has broken out among people who have seen the reputed robot with many believing it must be a person, while others think she is the genuine article

IMO this is a PR stunt and she is real. When she turns her head back to the left you can see her eyes trying not to stay fixed on something in front of her and they move just like a human's. With that being said if she is an android then God help us.

Yes, I fool around with it and have good software. Displacement and poly's still do matter though on an old machine like what I have. I only have an old 4 core i7 with 16 gigs of RAM and I'm using a GeForce GTX 970. I find the real killer to be transparency, refraction and reflection. I'd love to have a new work station to play with. Textures can be kept under control.
Actually it does take a lot to fool the eye. I don't think it's there yet as far as expressions go. I would not call what I've seen truly realistic, but some are damn close. Facial close ups are just not there yet. Still, it's not far away.
