Loopy

Researchers at Bytedance and Zhejiang University have unveiled Loopy, and it seems like just that, loopy! A while ago, I talked about LivePortrait, an approach to animating still portraits using a video of a face. Loopy drives its facial animation by audio alone, and the results on their project are very impressive!

As with LivePortrait, this kind of approach could be a game-changer for bringing old photos to life or when dubbing films into other languages. If that sounds interesting, check out Flawless AI's TrueSync software being used for dialogue replacement, not only when translating to other languages but also for making films PG by seamlessly removing swearing.
