In VR the visor covers the upper part of the face. If the user is represented by an avatar that mimics the users facial expression, a camera cannot detect the upper part of the face. Train a NN that takes in the mouth/lower face parts and identifies the expression of the upper face part. Use videos…

When training a CNN or using YOLO for finding objects (e.g. a hand) you have to apply many variations to the images to generalize the concept hand, like random backgrounds, different shadows and lights, blocking etc. The question arises how big the influence of each variation type on the detection…
