Realistic facial animation

The Avid Technology booth at SIGGRAPH presented new facial technology software for Softimage called Face Robot. This software allows 3D artists to achieve realistic facial expressions for games, film and post projects. The new technology uses facial soft tissues to mimic life like expressions. This can be performed using keyframe animation or motion capture.
Personally, it is nice to see these new technologies emerge as a gamer. It is a Step closer to realistic human interaction rather than wiping a player out with a gun or your fists.
There are some videos of the new technology here. It is quite humorous.
