Previously I wrote about the Cyberworld that's coming – the world of extended reality, or XR, enabled by a confluence of maturing foundational technologies, with AI a central part – computer vision and graphics, 3D reconstruction, natural language processing and more. It goes without saying that this seamless overlay of digital and real worlds will be populated by digital humans and avatars, both realistic and stylistic, driven by real humans and/or artificial intelligence. Here I am going to dive deeper into one of these foundational technologies: the creation and animation of digital humans (mainly faces). The good news first – it won't take us another decade to get there. When I started the Disney Research Laboratory back in 2008, I launched a long-term research vision to find the Holy Grail of special effects in film; i.e. to create and animate digital human faces indistinguishable from reality.
