CitizenMetaOne Youtuber live capture setup
[FYP or MSc level] Become a virtual youtuber, and create your own live Metahuman system setup, using HTC Vive controllers for tracking the hands and a webcam for capturing the face. This project will use pre-existing animation plugins in Unreal Engine as a starting point (Faceware for the facial capture, Metahumans for the character, and HTC vive for the body motion capture), and then layer controllers and physics-based animation on top to add advanced effects such as eye-gaze, procedural animation, body collision detection, etc. Student should be taking CS7GV5 Realtime Animation course and have a good knowledge of Unreal Engine development, also access to a powerful PC/graphics card would be important.
