Recent advancements in artificial intelligence are leading to the development of intelligent and culturally aware virtual avatars. IBM has filed a patent for this technology, which is expected to enhance user interaction in virtual and augmented reality environments. Reports indicate that these AI-powered avatars will be capable of gesturing naturally while speaking, providing a more lifelike experience. The technology has garnered attention for its potential applications, particularly in platforms like Meta's Quest 3, where users have noted the difficulty in distinguishing between avatars and real people. OpenAI is also reportedly working on integrating similar avatar technology into its systems.
May I introduce you to your new AI Avatar? The avatars we talk to will soon look something like this. As far as I know, OpenAI is already working on an avatar that the company is integrating into its AVM. https://t.co/tOWwYEEbci
Codec / photorealistic 3D avatar technology is incredible. I got my first real glimpse of it when I took a video call on the @Meta Orion from someone on a Quest 3 – and I couldn’t distinguish between it being an avatar vs. real person. https://t.co/fg7OHkG4uV
