Robert Burns poem 'brought to life' by new 3D animation

BBC News

A 3D animation has been created of Robert Burns reciting one of his most famous poems. The latest technology was used to recreate the Scottish bard's face from a partial cast of his skull. The words were spoken by modern-day Ayrshire poet, and Burns enthusiast, Rab Wilson. Motion capture was then used to track his facial movements as poem To a Mouse was recited. It was Mr Wilson's idea to use the skull cast to recreate the bard reciting one of his best known works.
