Live Mask and ma petite chérie (by Misawa et al 2012)

 

This system tracks the remote user’s face and extracts the head motion and the face image. The face-shaped screen moves along three degree-of-freedom (DOF) by reflecting the user’s head gestures. As the face-shaped screen is molded based on the 3D-shape scan data of the user, the projected image is accurate even when it is seen from different angles.

 



Ma petite chérie is a telepresence system with a reduced scale face-shaped display for supporting intimate telecommunication. Small size face displays are ecpected to retain the benefit of real-size talking-head type telecommunication systems, and also provide more intimate impression. It is easier to transport or put on a desk, and it can be worn on the shoulder of the local participants so that people bring it like a small buddy.
