Real-time avatars with our deep computer vision pipeline; developed with GStreamer, Rust and LibTorch. This CV pipeline is usually used for training robots inside simulations and generating synthetic datasets. But given the circumstances, thought it would be fun to explore other use cases.
Cool work. I went bankrupt trying to turn similar tech into an advertising platform 15 years ago. Long before the term 'deep fakes' I had a fully functional photo to 3D avatar reconstruction pipeline and VFX production pipeline for realistic actor replacement in media. I went as far as acquiring global patents. But I was too early - no one believed what I was doing was possible in '08 (when I was pitching my working system to VCs). By '13 I was exhausted, broke and dismayed at the short sighted and entitled attitudes I'd encountered. I gave up and now work in facial recognition.
