  "description": "3D human modeling reconstructs the human body in three dimensions from images and video -- enabling virtual try-on, motion capture without markers, and realistic digital avatars. Parametric body models (SMPL) and deep learning-based mesh recovery have evolved from laboratory multi-camera setups to working from a single smartphone photo.",
