Yet Team Bondi and Rockstar are producing some brilliant images with their Motionscan technology. I think it’s remarkable how fast the video game technology is approaching the blockbuster budgets of Hollywood movies. Let’s not forget that even cheaper and simpler 3D motion capture tech is waiting in the wings, and will likely be ready for some commercial applications in the near future. For computer animations and motion capture, the time it takes for a technology to move from cutting edge to mainstream to out-of-date seems to be shrinking. Moore’s Law is helping give the virtual world a new face lift every few years. At this rate I won’t be surprised when video games appear as beautiful and realistic as movies. L.A. Noire looks like it’s a good step in that direction. In the decade ahead we may see fully artificial characters, not just motion captures of actors, that appear lifelike enough to believe. Let’s hope at that point that we’re still perceptive enough to tell when they are lying.
