Facebook AI turns real people into controllable game characters
- emiliobumachar 8y agoThis is awesome! From the headline, I thought it was about engagement maximization dehumanizing users. But it's actually an automated means to build literal video game avatars that look like specific real people.
- emiliobumachar 8y agoI had a Nintendo Wii a decade back, and making an avatar that looked like each regular player was a pain, but we did it anyway. Nice to have a bot that does it.
- CM30 8y agoNintendo actually does provide an automated way to create those Mii avatars from photos, but it doesn't work particularly well. It seems like this Facebook AI is doing a better job, but we'll have to wait and see to know for sure.
