Recent advances in generative models and technological innovations have significantly addressed the fundamental challenges of character image animation. However, existing approaches predominantly focus on character animation from a single reference image, substantially limiting their applicability in scenarios such as multiple character interaction animation.
arXiv:2605. 05367v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing 3D sign language avatar reconstruction methods are developed and evaluated exclusively on Western sign languages, and no 3D parametric annotations exist for any Arabic Sign Language dataset, a gap that blocks the development of avatar-based accessibility applications for the Arab Deaf community.

Parametric models of the human head are essential tools traditionally used in computer vision and graphics for animation, rendering, and reconstruction. More recently, they serve as crucial conditioning signals within generative large vision models, allowing for tight spatial control of generated imagery.
arXiv:2606. 31981v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Creating photorealistic, animatable 3D human avatars from monocular images still largely depends on Linear Blend Skinning (LBS) and parametric body models, which constrain expressivity and often introduce artifacts due to imperfect fitting.

arXiv:2508. 08467v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite their potential to enhance children's learning experiences, AI-enabled AR technologies are predominantly used in ways that position children as consumers rather than creators.
