Facebook avatar the latest in virtual reality

The idea is to bring the physical distance to the virtual one. The Facebook team aims to make the avatars movements natural and interact with others in virtual reality   as it would be in real life where we live, with effects such as: joy , disappointment, angry anger..etc in order to create authentic interactions in artificial environments.

The company says that doing everything related to real-time avatars and realistic photo takes time . Capture studies are being carried out both face and body ,support engineering right now scientists need large machines, but it is intended to be generated with the mobile device.

Currently in the laboratory being studied, capture systems equipped with cameras, accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, infrared lighting and microphones are used to capture all the features of human expression.

Today, the laboratory uses 1 GB of images per second to produce a database of physical traits, then the avatars will be created without prior study. Now, in the research study it is taking 15 minutes to measure the volume of a person with the use of abundant cameras for its elaboration. This process, the general population will be able to carry out through several snapshots or videos quickly and easily .
