Abstract
An Avatar Engine triggers transmission of an instance of a three-dimensional (3D) mesh model to a target computer device associated with a first user account. The Avatar Engine detects changes in a video stream captured at a source computer device associated with a second user account, the second user account represented by a digital avatar rendered at the target computer device according to the instance of the 3D mesh model received by the target computer device. The Avatar Engine identifies a command based on the detected changes in the video stream captured at the source computer device, the at least one command corresponding to a portion of blendshapes. The Avatar Engine triggers transmission of the identified command to the target computer device associated with the first user account, the target computer device generating a local instantiation of the digital avatar rendered according to the 3D mesh model and the blendshapes.
