Besides the industrially transformative robot-like digital avatars behind Jensen Huang, the integration of multilingual recognition and large language models (LLMs) to create lifelike virtual humans based on AI technology that can run on personal computers (PCs) and offer innovative experiences is drawing significant attention. Digital Domain is a pioneer in this arena, providing comprehensive virtual human software suite engines to memory module giants, system developers, and multinational consumer electronics companies, accelerating development and integration applications.
This exhibition stages their technical achievements in collaboration with major tech companies. As one of the top-tier visual effects companies rooted in Hollywood, Digital Domain has teamed up with ADATA Technology, a global leader in memory modules and flash memory, to create ADATA and XPG’s brand ambassador “AI Virtual Human” Mera. This collaboration brings groundbreaking innovations in AI-driven virtual human technology to the application and development of brand-related products, presenting a fresh surprise to the general public.
Daniel Seah, CEO of Digital Domain, stated, “AI technology is being applied in diverse scenarios. Digital Domain is committed to developing practical patented technologies and actively expanding the business model of AI virtual humans.” The AI virtual human Mera, developed in collaboration with ADATA, showcases real-time interactive capabilities through the hardware’s ability to handle vast computations. The advancement in AI technology, with software and hardware capabilities complementing each other, promises to bring more transformative changes to the world.
