Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to generating expressive avatars using multi-modal three-dimensional face modeling and tracking. One example includes a computer system comprising a processor coupled to a storage system that stores instructions. Upon execution by the processor, the instructions cause the processor to receive initialization data describing an initial state of a facial model. The instructions further cause the processor to receive a plurality of multi-modal data signals. The instructions further cause the processor to perform a fitting process using the initialization data and the plurality of multi-modal data signals. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a set of parameters based on the fitting process, wherein the determined set of parameters describes an updated state of the facial model.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining, at an information handling device, an image of a person; determining physical characteristics of the person by analyzing the image; receiving an image of at least one selected piece of jewelry, the selected jewelry having a given jewelry profile, wherein the jewelry profile describes features and construction of the selected piece of jewelry; overlaying the image of the at least one selected piece of jewelry onto an image of the person, wherein the overlaying comprises analyzing resizing the image of the at least one selected piece of jewelry to match the physical characteristics of the person, in view of the jewelry profile of the at least one selected piece of jewelry; and providing, on a display of the information handling device, an output image of the image of the person comprising the overlaid image of the at least one piece of jewelry.
