3D Avatar Head from 4 Selfies

⊲ UploadVR ⊳ Meta researchers have developed a “large reconstruction model (LRM)” system called Avat3r that can create a realistic, animated avatar head from just four selfies in a matter of minutes. This is a significant advancement in the field, as previous methods required extensive data and time, often needing over 100 cameras and hours of processing. While it currently operates slowly, there is potential for future improvements that may enable real-time rendering for users.
