Ludovic Hoyet received his PhD degree from INSA Rennes in 2010, and Habilitation from the University of Rennes 1 in 2022. He is a researcher with Inria in the Virtus team. He worked as a research fellow in Trinity College Dublin under the supervision of Pr. Carol O’Sullivan. His research interests include the realtime animation of virtual characters based on perceptual features.
Quentin Avril, Senior Scientist, InterDigital, Quentin.Avril@InterDigital.com
Quentin Avril received his Master degree in 2008 from the University of Rennes and his PhD degree from INSA Rennes in 2011. His research topics focus on Computer Graphics, with a higher interest in Digital Human. All the R&D projects he has been leading for the last 10 years have been related to Digital Human, mostly for industrial purposes (tools for artists to speed-up and ease the creation of facial rigs (Facet 2015-2019), of VR avatars (Replicant 2018) and of secondary characters (Digital Double 2019-2021)). Facet has been awarded on several important productions (Lion King, Dumbo, Justice League, Aquaman etc.). Since 2022, He has started working within standardization groups (MPEG, MSF, ITU) around the avatar topic.
