Following on from the impressive demo that Nvidia showed last week, the BBC have made a report about the technology being used to create digital likenesses of actors in Hollywood 

As part of their "Click" online technology strand the BBC have covered a behind the scenes look at Image Metrics, the Hollywood company responsible for a lot of the digital facial scanning currently used in movies.

There is some interesting technology, especially the prototype holographic projector!
