Abstract:

Photorealistic 3D human capture has historically relied on light stages and extensive artist cleanup, restricting deployment to high-budget VFX. Emerging telepresence use cases in VR and AR require at-home capture with commodity devices under uncontrolled conditions.
We present Copresence, a mobile pipeline that generates photorealistic 3D avatar assets from a single smartphone scan captured in suboptimal environments. The system integrates (i) an in-app capture workflow that enforces recording quality via guidance and coverage checks, (ii) reconstruction robust to lighting variation, yielding consistent geometry and appearance, and (iii) 360-degree completion from predominantly frontal input, including explicit strand-based hairstyle modeling.
We outline design choices, robustness considerations, and practical failure modes, demonstrating a path to high-fidelity avatars without specialized hardware or manual 3D cleanup.
