CHAIRED BY: Mark Roughley

Human capture and reconstruction technologies have come a long way over the past few years. From volumetric video and motion capture, to real-time rendering and advances in artificial intelligence, the digital landscape is set to be transformed by a world where it is becoming increasing challenging to distinguish the virtual from the real.

Through presentations and demos this event will be exploring the possibilities and implications of ‘capturing humans’ and discussing the future opportunities for business, research and development in this exciting space that is set to transform the way we perceive and interactive with digital people.
