Photorealistic Human Avatars
Meta Reality Labs capstone. A drone that drives a real time full body codec avatar.
Carnegie Mellon MRSD capstone project, sponsored by Meta Reality Labs.
We created a human following drone that avoids obstacles, built on the DJI SDK and ROS2 running on a Mavic 3 Enterprise. The drone keeps a person in frame while navigating around obstacles, and the captured imagery drives a photorealistic avatar.
We trained a model on synthetically generated avatar models and demonstrated a real time full body codec avatar driven from the drone’s view.
