Abstract
Systems and methods provide an adaptive avatar-based real-time holographic communication service. End devices implement a customized avatar for holographic communications. With the assistance of a network edge platform, a user's facial motions and gestures are extracted in real time and applied to the customized avatar in the form of an augmented-reality-based or virtual-reality-based holographic entity. When a connection to the network edge platform is interrupted or not available, a master holographic entity provides a graceful fallback to a less resource-intensive avatar presentation using, for example, a user's prerecorded motions as a basis for rendering avatar movement. The customized avatar may be automatically adjusted/altered depending on with whom a user is communicating (e.g., a friend vs. a business associate) or a purpose for the communication (e.g., a professional meeting vs. a social activity).
