VIRTUAL HUMANS AND AI

Virtual and digital humans are emerging trends that have gained increasing importance in recent years. While the concept of digitized humans originated in science fiction in the 1980s, it is now becoming a reality. Thanks to this groundbreaking technology, industries can now benefit from highly realistic and interactive virtual representations of people. This opens up a world of new possibilities across various sectors. From immersive virtual reality experiences to personalized customer interactions, the applications are endless. It's no wonder that companies from various industries are enthusiastically embracing this innovative technology. Since then, various terms have emerged to describe this phenomenon, including virtual actors, synthespians, and digital clones.



While a digital human is essentially a lifelike 3D model, a virtual human is designed to closely resemble a real person. The term "virtual" implies that this person is incredibly realistic, taking into account their profession, personality, and unique history. This means they are not just an impersonal entity, but someone who feels as real as you and me. A digital human is a highly sophisticated, top-tier 3D asset that comes with a significant price tag. A virtual human, on the other hand, takes on various roles, such as assistant, actor, or influencer. Essentially, it is a digital human with a specific task to perform.

Although virtual humans have come a long way in performing tasks, there is still room for improvement in emotional animations and reactions. It's true that they may lack the characteristic emotional expressiveness of humans. Nevertheless, constant advances are being made in AI technology to close this gap. We can expect exciting developments in the future that will bring us closer to virtual beings capable of truly reflecting human emotions.
