Meta Unveils MoCha AI System: Generating Character Animations with Synchronized Speech and Movement
Meta, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Waterloo, has developed MoCha, an AI system capable of generating full-body character animations with synchronized speech and natural movements. Unlike previous models focused solely on facial animation, MoCha renders full-body movements from multiple camera angles, encompassing lip-sync, hand gestures, and interactions between multiple characters. MoCha's demonstration highlights the accurate generation of synchronized upper body movements and hand gestures in close-up and medium shots, significantly improving lip-sync accuracy.
