    This is a type of AI that will boost human creativity, going to use it in in-game film making to animate faces when characters talk!

      Consider the possibility of translating facial animations and someday even full-body movement 1:1 to any VR avatar in real time.

    I think the cosmetic industry is screwed, lol. Imagine every woman on earth getting her hair and make-up done professionally, just once for a photoshoot.

    From then on, every Instagram post, every zoom call… she looks exactly how she wants to with zero effort. A little image touchup can change the make-up and hair color, add or hide tattoos, she can sit around in Yoga pants and a stained t-shirt, but will appear to be wearing designer clothes, even if they’re just photoshopped and she never even tried them on, lol.

    Just look good in one picture and you’re set for life, lol.

      Go to school, and search how to cure diseases, but don’t give a sermon to everyone for something you’re not doing. Especially in a society where half the state budget is spent on military purposes.

  • @________w says:

    Immediately I’m thinking of using it as a tool to help one “get into character” when writing. With better-than-real-time results, a virtual mirror of a fictional character would let me see my own emotions reflected in a character I have only a single image of, helping me to feel like I’ve gotten into their head.

    I tried itโ€”it’s much worse compared to Roop (which uses InsightFace swapper, which is more like single shot DeepFake) and Thin Plane Spline Motion Model. It CANNOT handle any head movements to the left or right; it breaks down completely. Example driver video: https://youtube.com/shorts/wyz3vuDuJGI?feature=share

  • @andreasboe4509 says:

    This solves the viewing angle problem when the webcam is not at the center of the point of focus on the screen when we have a video call. It can transfer over slow connections and present a stereoscopic representation too. It’s the holy grail of video telephony.

  • @AdvantestInc says:

    The idea of using this AI for facetime-like calls with just an image and a low-res video is genius. It makes me wonder about the implications for remote work and personal communication.

    I think character animation for cartoons and anime will become so much easier with these techniques.

  • @ElloEveryone says:

    For the movie industry:
    1) you can make dead actors act
    2) you can make old actors young again
    3) you just need to purchase rights from an actor to use his face and voice, rest can be done by your team and he’ll be your protagonist without spending a minute on set or doing anything for you.
    4) a single actor could “work” in countless movies at the same time. With significantly less fees and without having to actually work!

    • @unknowjlm says:

      The problem is, in the world we live in :
      Greed might use your voice once dead, couple it with this AI & bam, make a profit without your consent…
      (Or someone reports a crime & uses your face this way to put you in jail)
