Businesses See AI Powered MetaHumans as Something More than a Video Game Asset

MetaHumans offer unlimited working hours and are scalable, which means they can be in several places at once. They are increasingly being perceived as more reliable than their human counterparts and industries are taking notice.

Virtual personas are vital to our digital age, as they offer various expressive and communication capabilities, and as digital experiences become more immersive and connectivity becomes more prevalent, avatars with AI will play a vital role in helping people in their daily lives from work to running to the bank, shopping, and even picking a restaurant.

With the ability to represent themselves digitally, people (and businesses) can express their emotions, convey their intentions, and interact with others in a manner that mirrors real-life conversations. This capability can enhance the quality of human interaction and make virtual tools more welcoming.

Human avatars play a vital role in enabling people to fully utilize the opportunities and experiences that digital platforms offer. Through the availability of a customizable and personalized platform, people and businesses can create their own virtual personas based on their specific attributes, cultural backgrounds, and preferences.

Overall, MetaHumans (human avatars) are a cornerstone of immersive experiences, significantly impacting how we interact, learn, and connect within virtual spaces. Their importance is likely to grow as virtual and augmented reality technologies become more integrated into daily life. – Tim Martin, CEO at FS Studio

In addition to being able to level the playing field, human avatars can also provide people with new opportunities to connect with others and collaborate. As technology continues to improve, it is important that people use their avatars to enrich their experiences and foster innovation.

Our team here at FS Studio understands how importance of  the development human avatar (MetaHuman) technology is and what it will mean for industries moving forward.

To show what is possible and to set up additional conversations on avatars, our Sr Tech Artist at FS Studio, Didier Surka used several technologies to give you an example of what can be achieved by using a tech stack that includes Unreal MetaHumans, AI-generated audio, Nvidia Audio2Face, and keyframe additional animation, to create a human avatar.

This shows how far we’ve come with creating a virtual workforce that can be used for any type of training environment, greeting your customers, delivering medical or retail information, and even be used as home companion.
