  • Publication number: 20250182367
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for realistic movements of a digital human character. The apparatus includes memory in which at least one program is recorded and a processor for executing the program. The program performs generating a first video by realistically visualizing a video in which a 3D digital human character is rendered and generating a second video by making movements in the first video realistic based on a pretrained realization model, and the realization model may be pretrained based on a fourth video that is generated by converting a predetermined region of a live-action video of a person into a corresponding predetermined region of a third video obtained by realistically visualizing a video in which a 3D digital human character is rendered.

  • Publication number: 20230014770
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparation of mesenchymal stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells and, more particularly, to a method for preparation of mesenchymal stem cells, wherein mesenchymal stem cells differentiated from embryoid bodies of a certain size in a xeno-free and serum-free environment are prepared, whereby the mesenchymal stem cells exhibit increased safety and maintain their own characteristics for a long period of time. A method for preparation of mesenchymal stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells according to the present invention employs a feeder cell-free, xeno-free, and serum-free culture environment to solve the problem of contamination with a foreign animal-derived material and allow the preparation of highly safe mesenchymal stem cells.
