Abstract
A three dimensional avatar of a person may be created based on a plurality of images of a person in a physical environment. The three dimensional avatar may have dimensions that are scaled based on dimensions of the person. The three dimensional avatar may be imported into a virtual environment, such as a virtual gaming environment.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- obtaining, from one or more camera devices, a plurality of images of a person in a physical environment;
- generating a three dimensional (3D) avatar of the person based at least in part on the plurality of images, the 3D avatar having dimensions that are scaled based at least in part on dimensions of the person;
- and
- importing the 3D avatar into a virtual gaming environment.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- a content aggregator stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to collect a plurality of images of a person in a physical environment;
- a model component stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to:
- create, based at least in part on the plurality of images, a three dimensional (3D) model representing an avatar of the person, the 3D model having dimensions that are based at least in part on dimensions of the person;
- and
- cause the 3D model to be used within a virtual environment.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device and from one or more cameras, a plurality of images of a person in a physical environment;
- generating, by the computing device and based at least in part on the plurality of images, a three dimensional (3D) model representing an avatar of the person, the 3D model including surfaces that are scaled based at least in part on surfaces of the person;
- and
- causing, by the computing device, the 3D model to be used within a virtual environment.
