We propose the first system for live dynamic augmentation of human faces. Using projector-based illumination, we alter the appearance of human performers during novel performances. The key challenge of live augmentation ...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for the classification and retrieval of interactions between human characters and objects. We propose to use the interaction bisector surface (IBS) between the body and the object ...

We address the problem of making human motion capture in the wild more practical by using a small set of inertial sensors attached to the body. Since the problem is heavily under-constrained, previous methods either use a ...

We propose a novel motion retargeting method that efficiently estimates artist-friendly rig space parameters. Inspired by the workflow typically observed in keyframe animation, our approach transfers a source motion into ...

Physical simulation has long been the approach of choice for generating realistic hair animations in CG. A constant drawback of simulation, however, is the necessity to manually set the physical parameters of the simulation ...

We propose an efficient method to model paper tearing in the context of interactive modeling. The method uses geometrical information to automatically detect potential starting points of tears. We further introduce a new ...

We present a real-time multi-view facial capture system facilitated by synthetic training imagery. Our method is able to achieve high-quality markerless facial performance capture in real-time from multi-view helmet camera ...

This paper focuses on the stable and efficient simulation of articulated rigid body systems for real-time applications. Specifically, we focus on the use of geometric stiffness, which can dramatically increase simulation ...

We present a multi-view stereo reconstruction technique that directly produces a complete high-fidelity head model with consistent facial mesh topology. While existing techniques decouple shape estimation and facial tracking, ...

We present a technique for controlling physically simulated characters using user inputs from an off-the-shelf depth camera. Our controller takes a real-time stream of user poses as input, and simulates a stream of target ...
