  • Publication number: 20240169682
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include techniques for intimacy-based masking of three dimensional (3D) face landmarks within a metaverse. A non-limiting example method includes determining a degree of intimacy R between a first user and a second user responsive to a first avatar of the first user being observed by a second avatar of the second user in a virtual environment. An initial set of M landmarks of a feature of the first avatar is determined and N landmarks are randomly selected from M for masking. The N landmarks are replaced with random noise sampled with a unit normal distribution to define a set of noised landmarks X that are then iteratively denoised to define a set of denoised landmarks D. A masked version of the first avatar is presented to the second user by modifying the feature of the first avatar with the set of denoised landmarks D.

  • Patent number: 11985417
    Abstract: Described are multiple cameras in a conference room, each pointed in a different direction. A primary camera includes a microphone array to perform sound source localization (SSL). The SSL is used in combination with a video image to identify the speaker from among multiple individuals that appear in the video image. Pose information of the speaker is developed. Pose information of each individual identified in each other camera is developed. The speaker pose information is compared to the pose information of the individuals from the other cameras. The best match for each other camera is selected as the speaker in that camera. The speaker views of each camera are compared to determine the speaker view with the most frontal view of the speaker. That camera is selected to provide the video for provision to the far end.
