Maintaining real-time communication quality in metaverse has always been a challenge, especially when the number of participants increase. We introduce a proprietary WebRTC SFU service to an open-source web-based VR platform, to realize a…

Animating an avatar that reflects a user's action in the VR world enables natural interactions with the virtual environment. It has the potential to allow remote users to communicate and collaborate in a way as if they met in person.…

The Metaverse through VR headsets is a rapidly growing concept, but the high cost of entry currently limits access for many users. This project aims to provide an accessible entry point to the immersive Metaverse experience by leveraging…

We present a novel mixed reality (MR) telepresence system enabling a local user to interact with a remote user through full-body avatars in their own rooms. If the remote rooms have different sizes and furniture arrangements, directly…

Metaverse is an immersive shared space that remote users can access through virtual and augmented reality interfaces, enabling their avatars to interact with each other and the surrounding. Although digital objects can be manipulated,…

Recent advances in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and extended reality have pushed the Metaverse, a virtual, shared space, into reality. In Metaverse, users can customize virtual avatars to experience a different…

In the era of the metaverse, self-avatars are gaining popularity, as they can enhance presence and provide embodiment when a user is immersed in Virtual Reality. They are also very important in collaborative Virtual Reality to improve…

The use of self-avatars in a VR application can enhance presence and embodiment which leads to a better user experience. In collaborative VR it also facilitates non-verbal communication. Currently it is possible to track a few body parts…

Experiential learning has been known to be an engaging and effective modality for personal and professional development. The Metaverse provides ample opportunities for the creation of environments in which such experiential learning can…

Faithful real-time facial animation is essential for avatar-mediated telepresence in Virtual Reality (VR). To emulate authentic communication, avatar animation needs to be efficient and accurate: able to capture both extreme and subtle…

Whole-body audio-driven avatar pose and expression generation is a critical task for creating lifelike digital humans and enhancing the capabilities of interactive virtual agents, with wide-ranging applications in virtual reality, digital…

Real-time animation of virtual characters has traditionally been accomplished by playing short sequences of animations structured in the form of a graph. These methods are time-consuming to set up and scale poorly with the number of motions…

Creating realistic, fully animatable whole-body avatars from a single portrait is challenging due to limitations in capturing subtle expressions, body movements, and dynamic backgrounds. Current evaluation datasets and metrics fall short in…

Hybrid mixed-reality (XR) internet-of-things (IoT) research, here called XRI, aims at a strong integration between physical and virtual objects, environments, and agents wherein IoT-enabled edge devices are deployed for sensing, context…

Dynamic facial emotion is essential for believable AI-generated avatars, yet most systems remain visually static, limiting their use in simulations like virtual training for investigative interviews with abused children. We present a…

Due to the increasing demand in films and games, synthesizing 3D avatar animation has attracted much attention recently. In this work, we present a production-ready text/speech-driven full-body animation synthesis system. Given the text and…

Metaverse aims to construct a large, unified, immersive, and shared digital realm by combining various technologies, namely XR (extended reality), blockchain, and digital twin, among others. This article explores the Metaverse from the…

Supporting real-time interactions between human controllers and remote devices remains a challenging goal in the Metaverse due to the stringent requirements on computing workload, communication throughput, and round-trip latency. In this…

Since the end of 2021, the Metaverse has been booming. Many unknown possibilities are gradually being realized, but many people only determined that they use Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) in the…

The capacity to create realistic virtual humans has progressed significantly, and such characters can be found in many applications across entertainment, education and health. As an essential element of interactive virtual humans,…
