The virtual human interface:: A photorealistic digital human

To mimic the quality of everyday human communication, future computer interfaces must combine the benefits of high visual fidelity with conversational intelligence and the ability to modulate the emotions of their users. From a computer graphics or visual perspective, achieving this goal requires creating synthetic digital humans that have photorealistic faces capable of expressing the finest shades of emotion. This paper focuses on implementing this concept to create a face-to-face system called the Virtual Human Interface (VHI).
