In order to align with the Covid-19 security recommendations and guarantee the health and safety of all the partners, we decided to keep the Q4 meeting in an online format.

The partners focused on updating the consortium on the progress done in the past few months. Although some of the partners are mostly working remotely, the productivity has not declined and the progress of these last months is very satisfactory. Some of the topics that were discussed during the meeting include progress on deliverables, capture sessions, facial modeling, offline facial animation, body rigging, behavioral learning and knowledge, non-verbal agent behavior and complex social situation analysis.

The consortium also talked about the report from the European Commission (EC) review that happened in July 3rd 2020, from which we received very positive feedback. All the recommendations and comments included in that review have been analyzed and will be totally or partially integrated to PRESENT for the next EC review.

As always, we want to thank everyone for their amazing work and we are looking forward to see how the project evolves in the upcoming months.
