When David Cage released a tech demo l[ast summer of an old man’s face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw1l%5FC4kXrg&ref=killscreen.com), he advanced the idea that facial micromovements would be the next frontier for games and realism. Apparently, the elderly represent the future of visuals as London-based design studio [Marshmallow Laser Feast](http://vimeo.com/marshmallowlaserfeast?ref=killscreen.com) are pushing capturing human bodies one step further with their newest project *Memex*. It’s “a 3D study of mortality exploring new photographic processes,” [according to the studio](http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/en%5Fau/blog/watch-a-94-camera-rig-3d-scan-a-human-into-virtual-reality?utm%5Fsource=tcptwitteranz), in the form of a music video for Duologue.

To do so, MLF used a 94-camera real-time hi-res scanning rig to create a photorealistic full-body scan of model Beryl Nesbit. They used a process called “photogrammetry” which involved literally photographing real-world objects from multiple angles in order to almost programmatically recreate them in a digital space. It’s a process well-known to games and[ employed in titles like the forthcoming *The Vanishing of Ethan Carter*](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/how-vanishing-ethan-carter-took-over-internet-three-gifs/?ref=killscreen.com)*.* But in this case, MLF is creating a real-time virtual reality experience and points to what VR cinema might ultimately be.[](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/how-vanishing-ethan-carter-took-over-internet-three-gifs/?ref=killscreen.com)
