Dynamixyz company profile

Founded in April 2010, Dynamixyz is a simplified joint stock company (SAS – société par action simplifiée) with a capital of €206,394 and its headquarters located in Rennes (France) and office in Vancouver, Canada. The company specializes in high-quality 3D face analysis and synthesis for which there is growing demand and increasingly varied potential for applications. With regard to analysis, for example, there are still few available solutions which are capable of performing subtle detection of facial features in real-time. And yet the needs in this field are growing as can be seen in the increasing use of reality applications at points of sale – virtual trying-on of glasses and virtual make-up are some examples – and in the marketing field’s requirements for detecting individuals’ gender and/or age. There are also significant needs for synthesis due to the increasing accessibility of video games and the development of serious gaming, etc. However, there are still currently very few solutions for producing truly realistic facial animations – in most cases developing such animation quickly becomes costly and, depending on the application, the solutions offered are not always suitable. While more and more virtual humans are appearing on our screens, the current content creation solutions are not sufficient to meet the increasing level of realism demanded. There is an immediate need to develop statistical systems which can produce good quality, on-the-fly animations. With a view to meeting these needs, right from being founded Dynamixyz employed a large research team (six PhD holders specialised in the analysis/synthesis fields). The company aims to create high-tech products, for professional users, which can be easily-integrated into any platform.
