The Next Step In Animation

Everyday I realize that technology advances more and more. Today this was shown to me by this video.
It features Emily, an actress who got her face processed by some sort of face-analysis machine. The result is an 'animation' which looks like it's real. Very, very real.

yes, this is a still from the video, thus not a real person

If you're interested in all the tech savvy I recommend you check out the in-depth article at the Times Online.
I'm still flattered with this, what will pixar movies be like in say ten years? Or what games will originate from this new advance in technology? Mind-boggling.
