Realistic Smiling Avatars, SIGGRAPH, and Asia

Hallison Paz (IMPA)
In this talk, I will present the paper "The Teeth, the Lips, the Tip of the Tongue: LTT Tracking," published at the recent SIGGRAPH Asia conference in Tokyo, Japan. This work is the result of a collaboration with Meta's Codec Avatars team, from Pittsburgh (USA), where I worked as a Research Scientist Intern in 2022. Additionally, I will share my experiences attending SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 and reflect on my adventures exploring the other side of the world.
