AI and Immersive Avatars: Advances, Trends, and Live Demos

AI continues to accelerate the rapid creation of human simulation and animation of people and characters, replacing traditional 3D modeling, scanning and other time intensive for manual creation of spoken, interactive and historical storytelling videos. As AI commercial and experimental ventures continue to advance, we are watching a rapid market evolution, and services shifting toward new application areas, levels of efficiency and revenue models.

This session will focus on live, real-time demonstrations, particularly those that integrate anthropomorphic avatars and characters into XR environments. Both the rapid creation of one’s self or loved ones will be shown, as well as, examples of famous artists like Van Gogh and Picasso as they interact and respond to a user, driven by AI, within an XR environment. Selected examples will include: Looking Glass 3D AI Talking Face, RiffXR Interactive Artist Avatars (Picasso / Van Gogh), Meta Quest AI Avatar Interaction (in AR), Hedra / Infinity AI rapid lip-synched AI talking face video generation from AI voice cloning and NVIDIA NIM / ACE workflows.

Attendees will leave the session with knowledge of the tools and workflow needed to experience for themselves the exciting evolution of human-character interaction and communication in XR.
