Great work Jack! An impacting internship with a great cross org collaboration.
I'm excited to share what I've been working on during my summer internship at @Microsoft . GASP creates photorealistic, real-time Avatars from an image or short video. Project page: microsoft.github.io/GASP/ Arxiv paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.07739v1 Demo Video: youtube.com/watch?v=3oWB7-UJ…
