Martin Guay
I am a Tech Lead / Research Scientist at Disney Research advancing motion capture and animation using AI and deep learning.
In 2018, I established markerless motion capture capabilities called synth2track,
which is spirirtually the neural successor to iMocap at ILM for match animation.
Recently, I established motion completion tools for key-framing animation at Pixar.
Prior to this, I pioneered embodied conversational characters that understand their environment and can speak with people. Characters can recognize things, walk around and interact with the world realistically, play musical instruments, and build rapport via conversation, imitation and more.
