I'm sorry, but this hair fetish just doesn't thrill me. Laura, in Tomb Raider, looked far more realistic with her messy hair then she did with her flowing Vidal Sasson hair (considering she was stranded on an island and not too clean).
The single hair animation seems like a waste of time. How often do you actually see people with hair like that, all flowing?
Especially when you're moving you won't really notice it and I bet half the post processing/motion blur/etc. will just blur it all together anyway.

Nice, a mix of old videos allready seen 1000times ( a big laugh with the introduction of demo from Nvidia who have 4years now ) , + ghost + witcher 3 presentation we have allready seen 100 times .... they have not find anything new to show us about Hairworx ?
They better have to got at least the hero of Witcher3 who got his hair who use Hairworx, and not only monster and wolfs this time.
I guess me and you are the only ones that noticed this is old news.

It has nothing to do with PhysX. It does need "physics" to work properly and this is done via DirectCompute. So yeah lets see if it can be disabled or not or how well it can be optimised for other hardware.
