Abstract
A method is disclosed for real time realistic rendering of objects and more specifically humans in a gaming environment from a single low resolution depth camera. The method is based on utilizing a personal computer or video game console such as Xbox 360 and a dept camera such as the Microsoft Kinect. The depth camera captures a depth signal that may be processed and used to generate a three dimensional mesh that is time coherent. The result may be used in any game engine due to the very low computation time achievement.
