Abstract
A virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) head mounted display (HMD) includes various image capture devices that capture images of portions of the user's face and body. Through image analysis, points of each portion of the user's face and body are identified from the images and their movement is tracked. The identified points are mapped to a three dimensional model of a face and to a three dimensional model of a body. From the identified points, animation parameters describing positioning of various points of the user's face and body are determined for each captured image. From the animation parameters and transforms mapping the captured images to three dimensions, the three dimensional model of the face and the three dimensional model of the body is altered to render movement of the user's face and body.
