Mr. Anargyros Chatzitofis completed his studies at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In 2008, he co-founded a video game development company, SDS Game Studios (SDS), where he worked for 4 years as a senior game developer. During his studies, SDS published the first Greek turn-based, strategy video game in Greece and Cyprus that was best-seller for several months in the Greek and Cypriot markets. In 2012, he joined Information Technologies Institute of Centre for Research and Technology Hellas where he works as a Computer Vision R&D engineer. His expertise lies on real-time human 3D reconstruction and motion capture from multiple RGB-D sensors as well as the development of immersive Virtual Reality social interaction experiences (virtual user 3D representation and self-representation). He has authored/co-authored 18 scientific publications and regularly serves as reviewer for IEEE and MDPI journals. At the same time, he is studying remotely for his CS PhD at Electrical and Computer Engineering School of National Technical University of Athens on low-cost 3D Optical Motion Capture methods using 3D vision techniques and Deep Learning.

Dr. Dimitrios Zarpalas is an Electrical and Computer Engineer with a MSc in computer vision and a PhD in medical informatics. Since 2008 he is an Associate Researcher in CERTH/ITI. His main research interests include real time tele-immersion in AR/VR environments through 3D reconstruction from multiple passive/active sensors, dynamic mesh coding, and 3D motion analysis; 3D shape analysis; 3D shape descriptor extraction. He has (co-) authored 9 international journal articles (one of them recognized as an IEEE Distinguished paper), more than 25 international conference proceedings (1 best paper award) and one book chapter. He has been involved in more than 10 research projects funded by EC and Greek Secretariat of Research and Technology.
