It's pretty clear that it's a fake, but the eyes and head move around well enough that it'd be a neat trick for a few seconds, before the rest of the call looks any closer. As they are all engineers and researchers, the first reaction was curiosity and we soon began testing the prototype."Īliev made a video of himself as Elon Musk, pretending to join the wrong meeting, to demonstrate the tech. A fun way of spicing up your video calls with friends & family is to use video filters in Zoom.
Step 1: During Zoom video meetings, click on the up arrow beside the Stop Video button and select Choose Video. "Developing a prototype was a matter of a couple of hours and I decided to make fun of my colleagues with whom I have a Zoom call each Monday. You can also use video filters during live Zoom calls. What’s important, it worked fast enough to drive an avatar real-time," Aliev told Motherboard.
Many video filters are already in the app, with others available through third-party software and additional downloads. "I ran on my PC and was surprised by the result. While many people know more about Zoom's virtual backgrounds feature, it's also possible to apply some video filters to the service. This model can do it in real-time, by training the algorithm on similar categories of the target (like faces). With other face-swap technologies, like deepfakes, the algorithm is trained on the face you want to swap, usually requiring several images of the person's face you're trying to animate. First Order Motion, developed by researchers at the University of Trento in Italy as well as Snap, Inc., drives a photo of a person using a video of another person-such as footage of an actor-without any prior training on the target image. Programmer Ali Aliev used the open-source code from the " First Order Motion Model for Image Animation," published on the arxiv preprint server earlier this year, to build Avatarify. The code is available on Github for anyone to use. Avatarify is a program that superimposes someone else's face onto yours in real-time, during video meetings.
