It would be interesting to see how far you could get using deepfakes as a method for video call compression. Train a model locally ahead of time and upload it to a server, then whenever you have a call scheduled the model is downloaded in advance by the other participants. Now, instead of having to send video data, you only have to send a representation of the facial movements so that the recipients can render it on…
