Supasorn Suwajanakorn is a scientist that show us how to used 3D modeling to create photorealistic fake videos. His inspiration was a project meant to preserve our last chance for learning about the holocaust from the survivors. The project is 'New dimensions in testimony' it is about conversations with a hologram. The effect is surprising, is like to connected to the story. He thinks that the human interaction is much more profound and personal than books, lectures or movies could ever teach us.
They introduce a new technique that can reconstruct a high-detailed 3D face model from any image, from differents angles. It does not matter what expression you are making tor where you took those photos, they produced facial textures and colors, and this can be done for any expressions. It is to capture their mannerisms, and unique ways that people talk or smile. They use a neural network, to convert and input audio into those mouth points.
These results seem very realistic and interesting, but at the same time frightening, even to him. Their goal was to build a model person, not to misrepresent them.
Fake videos could do a lot f damage even before anyone has a chance to verify, but he is hopeful if they use it right an carefully, this tool can allow any individuals positive impact on the world.
I think that we have a lot tools for progress, but it is in our power, is our decision if we want to change the world or go on like this.
