Frederic Ira Parke is an American computer graphics researcher and academic.
He was then a graduate student of the University of Utah College of Engineering where he received his MS (1972) and PhD (1974) in computer science.
This animation used a wireframe geometry overlaid with Gouraud shading that produces approximate renderings of curved surfaces.
[1][2] In 1974, he created a more complex, parametric model of a human face, demonstrating various expressions and speech synchronization.
Several of the faces also appeared in the music video of Miley Cyrus' 2013 song "We Can't Stop".
