In this episode, we’re joined by Hanbyul Joo, a PhD student at CMU.

Han is working on what is called the “Panoptic Studio,” a multi-dimension motion capture studio used to capture human body behavior and body language. His work focuses on understanding how humans interact and behave so that we can teach AI-based systems to react to humans more naturally. We also discuss his CVPR best student paper award winner “Total Capture: A 3D Deformation Model for Tracking Faces, Hands, and Bodies.”
