A life-like android woman debuted at the Tokyo Game Show 2017 and is indistinguishable from an actual human being.
Various clips of the android were released to YouTube and look like a real, live person waving into the camera. The woman-android reportedly even smells like a person according to some of the posts. It was being used to promote an upcoming PlayStation 4 game titled ‘Detroit: Become Human,’ that was developed by French firm Quantic Dream and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
There were similar androids posted up alongside her to promote the game’s plot which revolves around state-of-the-art AP700 models, called ‘the most reliable android.” One of these androids actually escapes from the factory where she was made. Gareth Evans, a Twitter user who demoed the game at the event, praised it. “Luckily the demo for Detroit: Become Human was awesome!” he said. The game takes place in a near-future version of Detroit that has been revived by the creation of Androids. It functions like an RPG allowing the player to make choices that will determine their own fate and that of the entire city. It is expected to hit stores sometime next year.
