Abstract
For live actors to perform as 3D models with seamless graphics computing, we need to overcome the huge challenges of developing a methodology to construct a cleaned and smooth model in real time and a system architecture design that supports the streaming of multi-model live actors. By applying the technique of semantic image segmentation to generate the entire human body, a 3D model needs to be built up with a segmented image as a texture. Moreover, to enable a live actor to virtually interact with others, multi-actor models must be produced for telecommuting systems. Therefore, by combining the concepts above, a system with multiple live actors can be created to conduct live group conferences in virtual reality that provide an immersive experience.
