Workshop on Codec Avatars @ CVPR24

Full-day workhsop on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at the Seattle Convention Center.

Overview

Our workshop will be devoted to telepresence: the task of generating and driving realistic human representations. Regarding generation, we plan to cover the learning of efficient 3d representations of faces, hands, and bodies, and the particular challenges of each modality. For driving, we will focus on using headsets to drive faces and hands, as well as external cameras for full-body tracking. The invited speakers will provide context on the state of the art both in industry and academia for efficient 3d representations and their applications to human modelling.
