I work in film VFX (related) and the tech that was used for the matrix was nowhere near this.
I dare say you might be underinformed about this topic.
New works like this one allow interpolation.
It's fair to ask if this is similar to what we saw in the Matrix sequels, where I believe they used different solutions. But again, I think the Matrix sequels mostly used entirely CG actors...? Not interpolation of recorded acting.
It's this particular paper that I don't find that interesting given the amount of data they had to work with and very specialized hardware setup.
Are there other examples of similar tech in use at a comparable level of quality in recent history? Against any comparable end results I’ve personally seen, it looks very impressive.

Do we have the understanding of neuro anatomy today to make a Light Ocular-Oriented Kinetic Emotive Responses (L.O.O.K.E.R.) device? We certainly have the technology.
