With AI becoming a hot topic, Computex offers even more to see. Digital Domain, with over 30 years of innovation, successfully applies its AI technology across various scenarios.
The 2024 Taipei International Computer Exhibition, also referred to as Computex, is being held from June 4 to June 7 in Taipei. This year, the exhibition has been upgraded, gathering top tech industry leaders to showcase cutting-edge technologies. Attendees have the opportunity to experience the latest technological interactions up close. Digital Domain Holdings Limited (“Digital Domain”; Stock code: 547), a pioneer in sensory experience virtualization, is participating in this year’s Computex alongside major tech companies in the AI ecosystem.
They are showcasing AI-driven virtual human service applications, making it one of the highlights of the exhibition. The world is now facing a wave of AI technology, especially virtual humans, which are set to revolutionize various industries — from customer service to advertising and gaming, and even providing real-time care advice by medical professionals, as highlighted in Jensen Huang’s speech.

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.

Digital Domain’s virtual human software, Momentum Cloud, efficiently generates content via Generative AI and enhances brand recognition through customized multimedia.
This time, Digital Domain also joins hands with Glenda Optoelectronics, leveraging Glenda’s years of experience in high-brightness and customized multimedia display equipment to run “AI Virtual Human” technology on their “Fantastic Vortex - WoW” circular display multimedia touch table. They demonstrate applications of bilingual AI (Chinese/English/Japanese) in service scenarios, providing a more comprehensive consumer service experience.
Technology is better viewed as an inherent part of humanity’s evolution. Artificial intelligence and virtual humans are indispensable elements of the next generation. This globally impactful technological force is booming across industries. How to seize the initiative and leverage the advantages provided by AI technology to introduce better applications and provide precise information has become the strategy and goal actively pursued by various businesses.

Cairo’s new monorail slices across the city skyline, running above the familiar chaos of blaring horns and aging buses’ exhaust fumes that mark rush hour below. The US$4.5 billion monorail, opened this month, is among Egypt’s most prominent new transport projects, part of a debt-funded infrastructure drive criticized for sapping state finances while bringing limited benefits to most of the country’s 109 million people. “It feels like you’re in a different country,” said Ramy Sayed, a restaurant manager, aboard a driverless Innovia 300 train. “No noise, no traffic, we’re not used to this.” The eastern line runs 56km from the bustling middle-class
Taiwanese firms have increased investment in the Philippines in recent years as Manila’s ties with Washington deepen and global supply chains continue to shift away from China, an expert at the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER, 中華經濟研究院) said yesterday. The Philippines had not been among Taiwanese investors’ top choices in Southeast Asia, CIER Taiwan ASEAN Studies Center director Kristy Hsu (徐遵慈) said at a seminar in Taipei. However, Taiwan’s investment in the country has grown significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching US $257 million last year, a high in recent years, she said. Although Taiwan’s total investment in the Philippines still lags
Intel Corp regards Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) as a longstanding partner, as the US chipmaker would continue outsourcing production of advanced chips to TSMC, Intel chief executive officer Lip-Bu Tan (陳立武) said yesterday. “I don’t look at people as competitors. I look at the collaboration... Nvidia is also, you know, a good friend,” Tan told a news conference following his keynote speech at the Computex trade show in Taipei. “It’s a very trusted partnership for us... We are a big, top customer for them, and we’re going to continue doing that,” he said, referring to TSMC, the world’s largest foundry
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents would supplant smartphones as the center of people’s digital lives, fundamentally reshaping personal devices and driving a major computing upgrade cycle, Qualcomm Inc CEO Cristiano Amon said yesterday. In his keynote speech for this year’s Computex trade show in Taipei, Amon said that the rise of "agentic AI" — AI systems capable of reasoning, planning and carrying out tasks autonomously — would transform how people interact with technology across phones, PCs, vehicles and wearable devices. Describing the technology as the next major evolution in computing, Amon said that "2026 is the year of agents.” For decades, smartphones have sat
