The Reality Lab Lectures - Tuesday, April 27, 2021
TALK TITLE: RealityShader: Holograms without Headsets
SPEAKER: Andy Wilson (Partner Researcher, Microsoft Research)
TALK ABSTRACT: At Microsoft Research we have been exploring the use of depth cameras and projectors to augment reality without the use of headsets. Projects such as Illumiroom, RoomAlive and Room2Room video conferencing transform the physical environment using projection mapping. More recent work demonstrates fluid transition from traditional VR use, to a mode of VR where parts of the physical environment are rendered with the virtual scene, to using projection mapping in place of the headset. This body of work demonstrates the broad applicability of augmented reality, transcending form factor.
RECORDING: Event held over videoconference (during the COVID-19 shutdown) and recorded by UW CSE Production Team

TITLE: Lifespan Age Transformation Synthesis
AUTHORS: Roy Or-El, Soumyadip Sengupta, Ohad Fried, Eli Shechtman, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman
ABSTRACT: We address the problem of single photo age progression and regression the prediction of how a person might look in the future, or how they looked in the past. Most existing aging methods are limited to changing the texture, overlooking transformations in head shape that occur during the human aging and growth process. This limits the applicability of previous methods to aging of adults to slightly older adults, and application of those methods to photos of children does not produce quality results. We propose a novel multi-domain image-to-image generative adversarial network architecture, whose learned latent space models a continuous bi-directional aging process. The network is trained on the FFHQ dataset, which we labeled for ages, gender, and semantic segmentation. Fixed age classes are used as anchors to approximate continuous age transformation. Our framework can predict a full head portrait for ages 0 70 from a single photo, modifying both texture and shape of the head. We demonstrate results on a wide variety of photos and datasets, and show significant improvement over the state of the art.
