I threw a headshot illustration | of a comic villain into it and it was able to successfully do all | the rotations and even manipulate the eyes despite it not being | photorealistic. | thebruce87m wrote: | There was an app going around a few months ago called | "wombo.ai" that will make a headshot sing. It had the same | outcome when given non human pictures as a source. Easily | killed an afternoon trying out different things. | arriu wrote: | I'm getting a "Failed to load resource: the server responded with | a status of 500 (INTERNAL SERVER ERROR)". Looks like we broke it? | EthanHarv wrote: | While the client-side has input validation, it appears that the | server-side does not, as I can edit the request body freely and | it'll return accordingly. | | It's interesting to see how the model fails at extreme values. I | can see why they chose the cutoffs they did! | krylon wrote: | Wow, this works pretty well. | | Makes me think of that chapter in _Infinite Jest_ where | videoconferencing gets popular, until people start using | "optimized" computer-rendered images instead of showing their | actual faces, at which point everyone goes back to audio-only. | godelski wrote: | Permutation City has another take, where people virtually meet | one another but use masks to hide their emotions. | wongarsu wrote: | I wouldn't mind video conferencing with computer generated | avatars. I don't video conference to know what the other person | looks like, and in fact knowing what they look like just | creates lots of unnecessary bias. I do it for the cues from | their gestures, facial expressions, the direction they are | looking, etc. With a good tracking setup that works perfectly | well today with digital avatars. | knicholes wrote: | I'm getting connection refused errors on the request to | http://54.186.34.220:443/face_vid2vid_rotate port 443 on http? | Hm. | msoad wrote: | This makes a request to server to get the result back. Hacker | News hug of death has already happened. | | I wish this was deployable to browsers so it was fully stand | alone. | thedudeabides5 wrote: | The side by side against other algos is pretty cool: | | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLYg9Waw72U&t=125s ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-06-28 23:00 UTC)
