While the new project set in the Deus Ex Universe from Eidos Montreal has been confirmed, Square Enix hasn't detailed the game yet. No gameplay or story info, no official title, no platforms, no launch date. We'll hopefully get many o the blanks filled in come E3 2015 in June.

However, you can start imagining what Adam Jensen's (or whoever the main character is) hairstyle will look with "Augmented Hair", the new technique used by Eidos Montreal's 3D artists.

You may remember Lara Croft's impressive hair styles and physics from Tomb Raider on PC, and this is actually an evolution of the same system called TressFX 3.0 technology.

The following slides are from the "Augmented Hair in Deus Ex Universe Projects - TressFX 3.0" presentation, held by Uriel Doyon (Eidos Montreal) and Jason Stewart from AMD during GDC 2015. For the full presentation and all technical details for developers, click here.

Is hair a big deal in games or are we better off with bald space marines?
