Researchers have unveiled a new AI system called TANGO which can generate realistic full-body talking videos of people, showing how far synthetic media creation has come. A series of videos have been created to showcase the tool, published on its website and YouTube, including showing how movements can be faked through technology to match any audio recording. In one example, 10 separate videos of different individuals can be seen repeating the same script – all with expressive hand movements that look natural. The team behind the AI tool has added it to the community-focused Hugging Face, where people can try it out for themselves using nine demo videos. “Given a few-minute, single-speaker reference video and target speech audio, TANGO produces high-fidelity videos with synchronized body gestures,” writes the researchers in a paper that was submitted on October 5. generating fullbody talking video with speech audio!
