Meta Human: Creating Realistic Avatars with Real-Time Full-Body Motion Capture Undergraduate Research Project, Ewha Womans University

This project aims to develop an accessible virtual avatar creation using photogrammetry techniques and motion tracking system.

By enabling users to scan their faces without specialized equipment, the system generates a digital avatar that closely resembles them. Additionally, it allows full-body motion tracking without the need for a body suit, making virtual human technology more accessible to a wider audience.

📍 Key Points

Realistic Face Mesh Generation

• Users capture multi-angle facial photos using their smartphones.
• A face mesh is generated from these images using photogrammetry techniques.

Virtual Avatar Generation using Meta Human Creator

• The generated face mesh is converted into a Meta Human using Meta Human Creator in Unreal Engine.
• A body is selected from the provided options to create a complete virtual avatar.

Full Body Motion Capture

• The virtual avatar is imported into an Unreal Engine project.
• Face tracking is performed using an iPhone 14 Pro Max and Faceware software, then synchronized with the virtual avatar.
• Vive Trackers are attached to key body joints, enabling body tracking, and the tracked motion data is applied to the virtual avatar.
