InterDigital R&I Digital Double Technology Wins Best in Show at IBC
September 19 2019 - 3:00AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announced that its Digital
Double technology was selected by TVBEurope, the leading European
broadcast industry publication, as Best in Show at IBC, the
industry’s premier event.
InterDigital R&I’s Digital Double technology features a
dedicated facial animation control for expression transfer (FACET)
tool, which streamlines 3D facial animation for VFX and animation
artists. From a single shot of 14 pictures, InterDigital’s FACET
technology can create a textured model of a digital face within 25
minutes. At IBC, InterDigital demonstrated how it automatically
creates high quality ‘digital doubles’, which can be used as
secondary characters in movie production. This technology opens the
door for new applications in gaming, retail and other
industries.
“Advanced production needs have always been the driver for new
visual technologies that have subsequently worked their way into
broad, horizontal applications. Building on the heritage of
innovation that the R&I team developed in supporting the
advanced production needs of industry leader Technicolor, we’re
excited to gain this recognition for a technology that we think
will begin to extend its reach far beyond its current application
and into a new, virtual-enabled future,” said Henry Tirri, CTO and
EVP of Research and Development at InterDigital. “To win this
prestigious recognition at our debut at this industry-leading event
is truly remarkable.”
InterDigital made its debut at IBC 2019 with a large-scale booth
featuring a number of new visual technologies, including video
coding in SDR and HDR, point cloud compression, and 6 degrees of
freedom volumetric streaming. The conference took place from
September 13-17 in Amsterdam.
