Towards interactive conversational talking heads

This work is part of the long term project of the Department of Computer Engineering and Industrial Automation (DCA) of University of Campinas of developing videorealistic interactive conversational agents to provide more intuitive and efficient human-computer communication. The projects from this group include the development of a compact image-based avatar for limited memory and processing capabilities devices, multiple purpose 3D talking-heads and a sign language 3D virtual agent.
