Virtual Human

Virtual humans are realistic digital representations of people, primarily researched for applications in virtual and augmented reality, entertainment, and scientific simulations. Current research focuses on improving the realism and efficiency of virtual human models, employing techniques like Gaussian splatting for high-fidelity rendering and deep learning for realistic facial animation and body motion generation, often leveraging multimodal datasets incorporating speech, gesture, and gaze. These advancements are significant for enhancing user experience in interactive applications and providing more realistic tools for research in areas such as social cognition and human-computer interaction.
