This is NOT really a real woman but... Meet Beryl, the creepy lifelike 3D model made using scans of an elderly lady ( science and Art together)

It was created as part of a 3D study into mortality, using a technique known as photogrammetry, and features in the video for Duologue’s single MEMEX.

The 3D model is based on 77-year-old actress Beryl Nesbitt, and was made using high-resolution scans taken on a 94-camera rig.
Shaders were added to the skin, subtle hairs were added to the body and even the tear ducts were built using layers of digital colour.
The video was directed by Marshmallow Laser Feast, which was responsible for U2’s Super Bowl promo Invisible, and its laser ‘Forest’ featured in The Barbican’s Digital Revolutions exhibition.
HOW THE MODEL WAS BUILT
Duologue worked with photogrammetry firm FBFX to create a full body scan of model Beryl Nesbitt using a 94-camera system.
The 360º scans were then sent to visual effects experts at Analog.
Analog shot a spherical panoramic high dynamic range photo of a sunset through a window in the studio’s toilet.
The two photographic processes were combined using 3D software so the sunset illuminated Ms Nesbitt’s scanned body parts.
Analog then built realistic shaders for the skin to add definition, wrinkles, highlights and shadows to the model’s features.
The project was the beginning of a study into filmmaking for the virtual reality environment.
