Avatars for the masses: smartphone-based reconstruction of humans for virtual reality by Timo Menzel, Erik Wolf, Stephan Wenninger, Niklas Spinczyk, Lena Holderrieth, Carolin Wienrich, Ulrich Schwanecke, Marc Erich Latoschik, Mario Botsch

“…Consequently, the demand for realistic virtual humans – and methods for creating them – is rapidly growing. However, despite extensive research into 3D reconstruction of avatars from real humans, an easy and affordable method for generating realistic and VR-capable avatars is still lacking: Existing methods are either limited to complex capture hardware and/or controlled lab environments, do not provide sufficient visual fidelity, or cannot be rendered at sufficient frame rates for multi-avatar VR applications. …”
