[AI Seminar] AI Seminar Sponsored by Apple -- Jason Saragih, Virtually Indistinguishable Digital Doubles

[Han Zhao]

Dear faculty and students:

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, Dec. 10th, at noon in *NSH 1305
(note the different room) *for our last AI Seminar this semester sponsored
by Apple. To learn more about the seminar series, please visit the website

On Tuesday, Jason Saragih will give the following talk:
*Title: **Virtually Indistinguishable Digital Doubles*

*Abstract:* One of the holy grails of AR/VR is a system for telepresence
that feels indistinguishable from face to face interactions. A key
technology for enabling this is the ability to create digital doubles;
representations of humans that are indistinguishable in how they look and
move from the real thing. Facebook Reality Labs in Pittsburgh has been
working on automating the creation of digital doubles and their animation
during social interactions in VR. In this talk, I will give an overview of
some of the technology behind our system and outline directions for future
work.

*Bio: *Jason Saragih is a Director Research Scientist at Facebook Reality
Labs (FRL). He works at the intersection of graphics, computer vision, and
machine learning, specializing in human modeling. He received his Bachelors
in Mechatronics and PhD in Computer Science from the Australian National
University in 2004 and 2008 respectively. Prior to joining FRL in 2015,
Jason developed computer vision systems for the mobile AR industry. He has
also worked as a Post Doc at CMU and as a research scientist at CSIRO where
he developed face tracking and modeling technologies.
