• Abstract: Meta avatar robot cafe is a cafe that fuses cyberspace and physical space to create new encounters with people. We create a place where people with disabilities who have difficulty going out can freely switch between their physical bodies and virtual bodies, and communicate their presence and warmth to each other.

  AvatarGO is a novel framework designed to generate realistic 4D HOI scenes from textual inputs. Our framework not only generates coherent compositional motions, but also exhibits greater robustness in handling issues. As the first attempt to synthesize 4D avatars with object interactions, we hope AvatarGO could open new doors for human-centric 4D content creation.

  We present a novel approach for generating animatable 3D-aware art avatars from a single image. We use a view-conditioned 2D diffusion model to synthesize multi-view images from a single art portrait with a neutral expression. For avatar animation, we extract control points, transfer the motion with these points, and deform the implicit canonical space.

• Physics-based Motion Retargeting from Sparse Inputs [73.94570049637717]
  Commercial AR/VR products consist only of a headset and controllers, providing very limited sensor data of the user's pose. We introduce a method to retarget motions in real-time from sparse human sensor data to characters of various morphologies. We show that the avatar poses often match the user surprisingly well, despite having no sensor information of the lower body available.
