WELCOME TO THE DIGITAL HUMANS & 4D CAPTURE LAB ! 
Our societies are constently evolving, adapting to new technologies and needs. In the new era of technologies powered by AI, how to represent humans in the digital worlds is a key question. To answer this question we focus our research on creating digital humans with real shape, appearance, motions and ability to interact naturally with the environment. To leverage all the power of AI for 3D vision we also work in efficient 4D capture systems for humans but also for the cities, with exciting applications in various domains such as architectural design.
