"Virtual Mirror: Real-time motion capture for virtual-try-on"

in collaboration with Caecilia Charbonnier
Professor: Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann
Assistant: Etienne Lyard

The goal of this project is to create a 3D application in OSG which will give the illusion of a "virtual mirror" by using real-time motion capture. The subject's movements are traked using a VICON optical motion capture system ad are applied to a virtual avatar in real-time. The avatar is included into a 3D environment and the scene is projected in front of the subject. The camera projection is calulated so as to give the impression of a "window" on a virtual world.

"Garment simulation and animation on children bodies"

The goal of this project is to create highly realistic children clothes and animate them on children bodies. Compared to adults, children grow faster and their body dimensions change frequently as they grow. Consequently children's clothes sizes are not categorized simply into XS, S, M, L or XL but are more finely classified according to age groups.

In this project, we first find the appropriate anthropometrical data. We then choose an age group and build a model corresponding to this information. We then proceed to animate it in a realistic and childlike way. The final step is the creation and animation of the clothes.
