A Metaverse Challenge. The Metaverse is positioned to immerse everyone inside a persistent virtual 3D version of the Internet, however it is still a bit of a ghost town for real digital face-to-face, human-to-human interaction. Moreover, as wearable-technologies are needed today for this immersion, it will be key that these wearables are intuitive to use and comfortable to wear. The 3dMD Answer. Today dynamic-4D 3dMD capture systems, powered by 3dMD software, are enabling Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, XR/VR/AR, and Human Factors teams to collect and build high quality, virtual-3D ‘near-ground truth’ databases of physical-3D ‘ground truth’ human behavior. In turn, these high-precision 3dMD image databases will be used to translate natural human actions, behaviors, gestures, nuances, etc. into digital input language to populate, train, and wear the Metaverse. From Healthcare to the Metaverse, here are a few 3dMD Applications…
Patient individualized oronasal and nasal masks were produced. An automated design workflow and use of additive manufacturing enabled a fast and feasible procedure.
The goal was to find objective measurements that would correlate with the patient’s subjective self-evaluation of their own cosmetic appearance.
Evolutionary analyses suggest that the difference in nose shape between EUR and EAS populations is caused by a directional selection, due mainly to a local adaptation in Europeans. Our results illustrate the underlying genetic basis for facial differences across populations.
