Pinscreen, Inc. is an American technology company based in Los Angeles, California, and founded by USC professor, Hao Li on September 18, 2015. Pinscreen is a software provider for AI-driven digital humans for virtual assistants, e-commerce, and entertainment. The company employs a number of well-known computer graphics researchers[1], and actively publishes at top scientific venues. Most notably, it developed the first technology that can generate photorealistic virtual humans, including hair, from a single input photograph. Its deep learning-based technology for photo-realistic face synthesis was developed around the same time when deepfakes emerged in 2017, but is real-time and even more accessible since only one picture is needed. Pinscreen received wide media coverage[2][3][4], due to the potential misuse of such technology if applied to face manipulations in videos. The company has been active in raising public awareness[5] about the danger of deepfake-related technologies, and presented at events such as the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2020 in Davos to highlight state-of-the-art video manipulation capabilities[6].
