Resources Legal. APB: Reloaded - E3 2009: Character Customization Gameplay (All Points Bulletin) | HD. A New Window to the Face. The human face is a complicated thing—powered by 52 muscles; contoured by the nose, eyebrows, and other features; and capable of an almost infinite range of expressions, from joy to anger to sorrow to puzzlement.

Perhaps that is why realistic animation of the human face has been what Microsoft Research Asia scientist Xin Tong calls a “holy grail” of computer graphics. Decades of research in computer graphics have developed a number of techniques for capturing three-dimensional moving images of the human face. But all have flaws, capturing insufficient detail or failing to depict accurately a changing expression. Xin Tong Now, researchers at Microsoft Research Asia, led by Tong and working with Jinxiang Chai, a Texas A&M University professor, have developed a new approach to creating high-fidelity, 3-D images of the human face, one that depicts not only large-scale features and expressions, but also the subtle wrinkling and movement of human skin.

That’s a big challenge, Tong says. ‪USCICT's Channel‬‏ ‪USCICT's Channel‬‏ Virtual People Factory - Home.

EMBOTS: Embodied Agents Research Group. VirtualConstructor (COHIBIT) At Volkwagen's Autostadt in Wolfsburg, two virtual characters, Jara and Taron, invite visitors to build model cars with real car pieces. Using camera and RFID technology for input, the two characters seamlessly interact with the real world. They are controlled using statecharts, modelled in our Scenemaker tool. The project was also presented at CeBIT-07. A cooperation with Augsburg University, Charamel and Autostadt.

Second Life is at its most compelling when users fully enter the virtual world as participants engaging the space, not observers visiting it.

This is not to revisit the false dichotomy of augmentation and immersion. It is almost impossible to log on to Second Life and not immerse to some degree. The fundamental metaphor is that you are experiencing a place – that you are acting within a world. Immersion consists of several facets. Traditional web experiences The traditional web experience is different from the experience of visiting a virtual world.

Singular Reading a web page, including most social media web pages is a singular experience. Asynchronous Facebook, Twitter, blog comments. Interstitial Experiences The singular, asynchronous nature of many web interactions makes them perfect interstitial activities. Most web pages and applications require little context, little planning and little time. Click and Type. Jack Sparrow. FaceShop 3.7. Create 3D Face from a Single Photo. Watch Demo Video.
