UPDATE: Nov. 22,Canada Movies | Adult Movies Online 2020, 11:48 a.m. EST This story was updated to more accurately reflect how Douglas's chameleon-like ability to change appearance works.
There's something off about Douglas.
He's touted by his creators as the "most realistic real-time autonomous digital human in the world." If that's true, then I don't think the best the world has to offer is quite good enough.
Douglas is being developed by Digital Domain, a visual effects titan that has worked on movies including Titanicand the last two Avengersreleases, as well as video games like Destinyand Assassin's Creed Odyssey. He's certainly an impressive creation visually, but once conversations get rolling, you can really tell that he's an imposter.
Digital Domain modeled Douglas off of its senior director of software R&D, Doug Roble, capturing his facial structure, movements, and mannerisms from all angles, as well as his voice. By creating as realistic a model as possible, the goal of Douglas is to make conversations between humans and machines feel easier and more natural.
While his face looks pretty good in the demo Zoom call, Douglas' voice doesn't quite match his mannerisms, his movements are slightly off, and he seems to really love gesturing with his hands. Instead of acting like a real human, the way he movies is more reminiscent of a modern video game non-player character (NPC) running through an animation cycle.
You're on the right path, Digital Domain, but there's still a disconnect here between us humans and the slightly off, vaguely unsettling appearance of Douglas that settles somewhere inside the uncanny valley.

Of course, you have to actually makethe technology do that, it doesn't just happen on a whim, which is a slight comfort. This chameleon-like ability would be appealing to people who license the technology and want Douglas to take on a unique form.
Digital Domain is currently looking for investors, partners, and clients to help them bring Douglas into the wider world.
