The 1981 cult classic movie Looker becomes real with this project in its technology sense.
See the Internet Movie Database for details.
The basic plot is models are scanned, then killed, while their scans take over their acting rolls in commercials, so the real life models don't have to be paid.
Looker was "the first ever film to create 3D shading with a computer that produced the first ever CGI human character was the model Cindy (Susan Dey). This movie achieved this feat before Disney's more famous (Tron) hit the screens. The Web site Filmsite said of Cindy: 'Her digitization was visualized by a computer-generated simulation of her body being scanned--notably the first use of shaded 3D CGI in a feature film. Polygonal models obtained by digitizing a human body were used to render the effects.'"
Do we have the understanding of neuro anatomy today to make a Light Ocular-Oriented Kinetic Emotive Responses (L.O.O.K.E.R.) device? We certainly have the technology.
Obviously no 'issue' so feel free to close this. Just thought it was cool to note.
