Avatars for the Masses: Smartphone-Based Reconstruction of Humans for Virtual Reality
Virtual Human Demo
During my time as a Ph.D. candidate, I developed a low-cost reconstruction method for realistic 3D avatars, a statistical model for body-weight modification of virtual humans to investigate the potential of VR therapy in obesity treatment, as well as anatomical representations of virtual humans. You can find further details in my PhD thesis and click the Load Demo button below for an interactive application that showcases various parts of our avatar reconstruction pipeline (loading the demo can take up to 25 seconds).
