“This is not a person” by Bianchini, Benzing, Waskey, Cowley and Szilak
Description:
Rene Magritte famously painted a picture of a pipe, with the text, “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” (this is not a pipe). In this panel, we discuss the benefits and limitations of using volumetric video, which records a person as they were in the moment, and digital doubles, avatars that represent a form of who we are as we wish to be. Joining the discussion is Kiira Benzing, Director (Double Eye Pro); Jason Waskey, Principal Creative Director (Microsoft); Dana Cowley, Communications Director (Epic Games) and Illya Szilak, Creative Producer (Cloudred)
