AI for Lip Synch
MIT's New Controversial Project
 
AI for Lip Synch

The Boston Globle has word of a recent project at MIT which involves synchronising lips to text within a video -- At MIT, They Can Put Words in Our Mouths. Traditionally, this process involved creating a virtual model of the mouth and animating it accordingly. This approach uses "Artificial Intelligence" (my guess is pattern recognition ;) to make the match. The technology is widely applicable, ranging from dubbing films to computer game animation. Great stuff!
