Your avatar could soon become a lot more realistic.
Realistic Metaverse Avatars Let You Express Yourself – Jump into the Metaverse with Your Phone
NVIDIA has released a set of tools for software developers to help them create better virtual representations of users and virtual characters. The avatars created on the platform are interactive characters with 3D graphics that can see, speak, converse on a wide range of topics, and understand what you say. It’s part of a growing interest in making virtual reality (VR) a more effective way to communicate.
"Better avatars can help people more easily recognize friends and family in virtual environments, and enable more 'realistic' experiences, that is, something closer to the real-time analog world," virtual reality expert and IEEE member Todd Richmond told Lifewire in an email interview. "In addition, training or educational applications that require higher fidelity representations of people will benefit from better avatars."
NVIDIA says its new tool enables the creation of AI assistants that are easily customizable for virtually any industry. The assistants can help with things like restaurant orders, banking transactions, and setting up personal appointments and reservations.
