Normally, it takes pricey equipment and expertise to create an accurate 3D reconstruction of someone's face. Now, Carnegie Mellon University researchers have pulled off the feat using video recorded on an ordinary smartphone. A two-step process developed by CMU's Robotics Institute harvests data from the video, with some help from deep learning algorithms, to build a digital reconstruction of the face.
