MotionPortrait launched a site featuring Creepy Girl, and OMG, she's not real. Really not real. But she will follow your mouse as if you were a maestro.

This woman was created from [computer generated images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooraft) and then animated. This is one creepy chick. You must check out the video of her/it.

"MotionPortrait is the technology that automatically creates 3D face model from one single picture, which can be animated in a variety of facial expressions," a [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) description says.

This should win and Oscar for Yikes!
