Talk #2 - Generating Realistic Human NPCs in VR with Artificial Intelligence

One of the challenges of creating immersive VR experiences is creating and customizing realistic avatars for users to interact with. Frank Carey (https://botsandbrains.com/) of Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/) will talk about how AI is doing just that in speech, 3D-Models, facial expressions, and body movements.
