Computer vision expert / Unity developer for facial animation project

==Output==

Web-based communication app that uses avatars as visual representations and camera to record facial movements, which are mapped to the avatars in real-time

Components:

• Facial detection library, which detects facial points

• Facial expressions logic, which maps facial points to blendshapes to imitate mimic and head movements of user

• Implemented frontend (UI/UX)

• Avatar library, where avatars are stored with all necessary information (mesh, texture, blendshapes, etc.)

Files:

• Unity project with all associated files

• Deployed WebGL version of the project

==Input==

• Current Unity animation project (contains basic facial detection and blendshape mapping logic)

• UI/UX design

• Avatars (mesh, texture, blendshapes)

==Required skills==

• Experience in game and app development (Unity, Blender, etc.) with a sense for design and UI/UX

• Excellent 3D modelling skills and experience in computer vision / facial recognition

• Excellent coding skills and good understanding of versioning tools

==Mode==

• This will probably be a 2-3 months period project (Jan-Mar 2019) and requires some time flexibility

• Detailed project plan will be discussed during kick-off

• Temporary on-site presence possible and preferred (Berlin)

Please answer the following questions to your best knowledge and depth

• Have you worked in facial animation before? If yes, what environments did you use? Which animation techniques did you use?

• Have you worked in facial recognition before? If yes, which environments did you use? Which recognition techniques did you use

• Apart from you previous experience, what other techniques / libraries do you know that would enhance the animation quality substantially (recognition stability and latency, realism of facial animation, etc.)

• For which platforms/OS did you develop before?

• Do you have special knowledge of web-based deployments (e.g. WebGL)? What are the challenges here and how can they be resolved?

• What is your preferred working mode in remote projects (daily communication and lots of input or rather less communication and getting stuff done mentality). Please elaborate.

• Is it possible for you to relocate to Berlin (optional, time not set yet)

• What is your general availability in the first half of 2019? Will you be available full time?
