Within the field of deepfakes, or "synthetic media" as researchers call it, much of the attention has been focused on fake faces potentially wreaking havoc on political reality, as well as other deep learning algorithms that can, for instance, mimic a person's writing style and voice. But yet another branch of synthetic media technology is fast evolving: full body deepfakes. In August 2018, University of California Berkeley researchers released a paper and video titled "Everybody Dance Now," demonstrating how deep learning algorithms can transfer a professional dancers' moves onto the bodies of amateurs. While primitive, it showed that machine learning researchers are tackling the more difficult task of creating full body deepfakes. Also in 2018, a team of researchers led by Dr. Björn Ommer of Heidelberg University in Germany published a paper on teaching machines to realistically render human movements.
