    Designing and Fabricating Mechanical Automata from Mocap Sequences

    We present an automatic method that takes a motion sequence of a humanoid character and generates the design for a mechanical figure that approximates the input motion when driven by a single constant-speed crank.

    3D Self-Portraits

    With our system any ordinary user can capture complete and fully textured 3D models of themselves in minutes, using only a single Kinect sensor, in the uncontrolled lighting environment of their own home.

    Anatomy Transfer

    We propose the first semi-automatic method for creating anatomical structures, such as bones, muscles, viscera and fat tissues by
    transferring a reference anatomical model from an input template
    to an arbitrary target character, only defined by its boundary representation

    Augmenting Physical Avatars using Projector-Based Illumination

    Animated animatronic figures are a unique way to give physical presence to a character. We present a complete process for augmenting physical avatars using projector-based illumination, significantly increasing their expressiveness. The result is a highly expressive avatar that features facial details and motion otherwise unattainable due to physical constraints.
