Chris Jones from Victoria, Australia, has unveiled \u201cMr Head\u201d, who blinks, smirks, and has \u201castonishing realism\u201d. A video of Mr Head (also known an Ed) has gone viral on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones is an illustrator who went into computer games art. He has pulled off an amazing feat in creating Mr Head from scratch. Mr Jones has also produced impressive graphic animations of a hand and an eye.<\/p>\n

The VR World website, commenting on Mr Jones\u2019 achievement, said: \u201cPeople are always talking about when digitally created art will surpass the point of realism, well today may be the day\u2026 it is astonishing to see that someone\u00a0 has finally, entirely from scratch, created their own digital person.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe artist, Chris Jones, says that this is still only a work in progress which means there are many improvements to be made to Ed, but that doesn\u2019t change the astonishing realism created from nothing but an artist\u2019s imagination and lots of software and hardware.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
