Camera Controlled Creative Cloud Character Animator

So, Adobe is developing a new way to animate characters with their new Character Animator program. Rather than the traditional pencil animation or animating with keyframes, this program utilizes your computer's camera and microphone to analyze your motion and speech. In theory, this program will save you extensive amounts of time because it automatically tracks the characters to your body and syncs the characters lips. Character Animator will be included in the next Creative Cloud update and Adobe is still looking for feedback to make it even better.

Perhaps I am biased to the animation techniques I've learned, but I don't think this program does a very good job at what it's supposed to do. I watched the provided video and I wasn't all that impressed. Character Animator boasts that it can do all these helpful, time saving things, and in a lot of ways, it can, but not very effectively. From what I could see, the lip sync was everywhere and didn't seem to line up with the speech at all. Another thing, I thought that some of the features like the wiggling and stretching was just too much. It seemed unrealistic and unnecessary. But hey, if anyone can get that to work just right, then cudos to them. It's probably not something that I'd be able to do. They would have my respect.

Apparently Adobe is trying to one-up themselves by creating an animation program that makes their two other animation programs obsolete. In theory, this would be a really helpful program for some animators, but I don't think I see myself using it any time soon.

How does Java Script effect the program? Does it change the way that some features work?

If this works like it says it does, this could revolutionize character animation. Characters could look and act more lifelike than ever before and it could really sell animation as a serious medium for film making.
