Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) head mounted display (HMD) includes various image capture devices that capture images of portions of the user's face and body. Through image analysis, points of each portion of the user's face and body are identified from the images and their movement is tracked. The identified points are mapped to a three dimensional model of a face and to a three dimensional model of a body. From the identified points, animation parameters describing positioning of various points of the user's face and body are determined for each captured image. From the animation parameters and transforms mapping the captured images to three dimensions, the three dimensional model of the face and the three dimensional model of the body is altered to render movement of the user's face and body.

The receiver receives the quantum signals transmitted by the transmitter via a quantum communication channel; estimates a channel matrix representing the polarization rotation of the first and second polarization caused by the quantum communication channel; modifies the received first and second quantum signals on the basis of the polarization rotation; and uses the modified received first and second quantum signals for generating a secret key.

Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) head mounted display (HMD) includes various image capture devices that capture images of portions of the user's face. Through image analysis, points of each portion of the user's face are identified from the images and their movement is tracked. The identified points are mapped to a three dimensional model of a face. From the identified points, a blendshape vector is determined for each captured image, resulting in various vectors indicating the user's facial expressions. A direct expression model that directly maps images to blendshape coefficients for a set of facial expressions based on captured information from a set of users may augment the blendshape vector in various embodiments. From the blendshape vectors and transforms mapping the captured images to three dimensions, the three dimensional model of the face is altered to render the user's facial expressions.
