Original Abstract Submitted
Various implementations relate to methods, systems and computer readable media to provide cross-device communication with adaptive avatar interaction. According to one aspect, a computer-implemented method includes receiving communication inputs from a first device, determining facial landmarks and head orientation of the first user, and generating an animated 3D avatar based on the inputs. A virtual camera position is adjusted according to the head orientation. The computer-implemented method further receives additional communication inputs from a second device with enhanced features, modifies the avatar accordingly, and provides the enhanced animation to the second device. Various implementations allow for different viewing modes, including picture-in-picture (PIP), side-by-side, and cinematic views, to adapt the experience across multiple devices such as virtual reality (VR) headsets, augmented reality (AR) devices, mobile phones, and desktop computers.
