ABSTRACT
This research, "Real Baby - Real Family" - VR Entertainment Baby Interaction System, is a project aimed at generating virtual baby avatars from any 2D facial images. By pulling specific facial features from photographs, analyzing them, and then merging the obtained data together, the virtual baby avatars whose face closely resembles that of subjects has been successfully created. Furthermore, this experience contains various interactions with physical and virtual baby avatar aimed at provoking thoughts regarding to solving social issue of rapid aging society.
