Traditionally, actor's performance is enhanced by make-up and props. However, with the advancement of visual technology in cinema, TV, and advertisement, scope of acting is also changing. The following will demonstrate the rapid advancement in visual technology and its relevance to acting. Actor, in ideal setting, is completely immersed in his character to the extent he loses his own identity but rarely he loses his appearance. Using "emotion capture" technology as seen in Rise of the Planet Apes, even the actor's appearance is hidden in character. Actors are revered for their "thousand faces." Now, using "emotion capture" technology, actor's capacity is almost infinite. This research will demonstrate that technology will not replace traditional acting roles but enhance it and expand it to new heights as more and more new technology come of age.
