    Abstract: Technologies for distributed generation of an avatar with a facial expression corresponding to a facial expression of a user include capturing real-time video of a user of a local computing device. The computing device extracts facial parameters of the user's facial expression using the captured video and transmits the extracted facial parameters to a server. The server generates an avatar video of an avatar having a facial expression corresponding to the user's facial expression as a function of the extracted facial parameters and transmits the avatar video to a remote computing device.

    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for transmitting facial motion data and animating an avatar are generally described herein. A system may include an image capture device to capture a series of images of a face, a facial recognition module to compute facial motion data for each of the images in the series of images, and a communication module to transmit the facial motion data to an animation device, wherein the animation device is to use the facial motion data to animate an avatar on the animation device.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with animating and rendering an avatar are disclosed herein. In embodiments, In embodiments, an apparatus may include an avatar animation engine configured to receive a plurality of facial motion parameters and a plurality of head gestures parameters, respectively associated with a face and a head of a user. The plurality of facial motion parameters may depict facial action movements of the face, and the plurality of head gesture parameters may depict head pose gestures of the head. Further, the avatar animation engine may be configured to drive an avatar model with facial and skeleton animations to animate an avatar, using the facial motion parameters and the head gestures parameters, to replicate a facial expression of the user on the avatar that includes impact of head post rotation of the user. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating dynamic simulation of avatars based on user performances according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes capturing, in real-time, an image of a user, the image including a video image over a plurality of video frames. The method may further include tracking changes in size of the user image, the tracking of the changes may include locating one or more positions of the user image within each of the plurality of video frames, computing, in real-time, user performances based on the changes in the size of the user image over the plurality of video frames, and dynamically scaling an avatar associated with the user such that the avatar is dynamically simulated corresponding to the user performances.

    Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for transmitting avatar sequencing data in an audio file are generally described herein. A method can include receiving, at a second device from a first device, an audio file comprising: facial motion data, the facial motion data derived from a series of facial images captured at the first device, an avatar sequencing data structure from the first device, the avatar sequencing data structure comprising an avatar identifier and a duration, and an audio stream. The method can include presenting an animation of an avatar, at the second device, using the facial motion data and the audio stream.
