Sensitivity-Optimized Rigging for Example-Based Real-Time Clothing Synthesis
We present a real-time solution for generating detailed clothing deformations from pre-computed clothing shape examples. Given an input pose, it synthesizes a clothing deformation by blending skinned clothing deformations of nearby examples controlled by the…
Parametric Wave Field Coding for Precomputed Sound Propagation
The acoustic wave field in a complex scene is a chaotic 7D function of time and the positions of source and listener, making it difficult to compress and interpolate. This hampers precomputed approaches which tabulate…
Controllable High-Fidelity Facial Performance Transfer
Recent technological advances in facial capture have made it possible to acquire high-fidelity 3D facial performance data with stunningly high spatial-temporal resolution. This paper introduces a novel facial expression transfer and editing technique for high-fidelity…
A threat to a virtual hand elicits motor cortex activation
We report an experiment where participants observed an attack on their virtual body as experienced in an immersive virtual reality (IVR) system. Participants sat by a table with their right hand resting upon it. In…
Microsoft Research Design Expo 2014
During Microsoft’s annual Faculty Summit, universities from around the world send teams of students to present projects with potential real-world impact. See what these students did to answer the question, “What would you do with…
On Welsh Corgis, Computer Vision, and the Power of Deep Learning
Can you tell the difference between the two breeds of corgis? If you’re like many, you probably are barely even aware that such dogs exist, let alone the fact that there are two—and only two—kinds…
