### Segment 1 (00:00 - 02:00) []

dear fellow scholars this is two minute papers with károly on IFA here two years ago in 2016 we talked about a paper that enabled us to sit and transfer our gestures onto a virtual actor this work went by the name face to face and showcased a bunch of mesmerizing results containing reenactments of famous political figure heads it was quite amazing but it is nothing compared to this one and the reason for this is that the original face to face paper only transferred expressions but this new work is capable of transferring head and torso movements as well not only that but mouth interiors also appear more realistic and more gaze directions are also supported you see in the comparison here that the original method disregarded many of these features and how much more convincing this new one is this extended technique opens up the door to several really cool new applications for instance consider this self reenactment application this means that you can reenact yourself now what would that be useful for you may ask well of course you can appear to be the most professional person during a virtual meeting even when sitting at home in your undergarment or you can quickly switch teams based on who is winning the game avatar digitization is also possible this basically means that we can create a stylized version of our likeness to be used in a video game somewhat similar to the me emoji presented in Apple's latest keynote with the iPhone 10 and the entire process takes place in real time without using neural networks this is as good as it gets what a time to be alive of course like every other technique this also has its own set of limitations for instance illumination changes in the environment are not always taken into account and long haired subjects with extreme motion may cause artifacts to appear in short don't use these for rock concerts and with this we are also one step closer to full character reenactment for movies video games and telepresence applications this is still a new piece of technology and may offer many more applications that we haven't thought of yet after all when the internet was invented who thought that it could be used to order pizza or transfer Bitcoin or order pizza and pay with Bitcoin anyway if you have some other applications in mind let me know in the comment section thanks for watching and for your generous support and I'll see you next time
