VR Humanoid Avatar using Human library

Head, face, eye, body and hand tracking

Implementation in TypeScript using Human library for human analysis, three for 3D display and scene management and @pixiv/three-vrm for VR model mapping

Notes

VR Model

• Supports any GLTF VRM model
• Examples: https://hub.vroid.com/en

Face

• Implemented: 3D head angle, eye blinks, eye gaze direction, simple emotions, mouth opens

Body

• Implemented: shoulder lean, positions for elbow, wrist, hip, knee
• Missing: front/back detection, detailed leg and arm positions, input validation to avoid unnatural movement

Hands

• Based on calculating finger curl instead of updating positions
• Implemented: hand rotation, finger curls
• Missing: finger positions
