The images from the demo, as you can see on Windows Central, show a woman in a laboratory with comparisons between Xbox One and Project Scorpio. As you will see when clicking on the link, the backgrounds in the slider image are much crisper and have finer detail, and even close ups of the woman's face show a notable difference.
