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.
Over 30 years of transformation,
Digital Domain has gradually achieved global expansion in visual effects,
virtual humans, and visualization. CEO Daniel Seah has shared that AI
technology is being applied in various fields, advocating for the symbiosis of
technology and art, with notable achievements across arts, entertainment,
science, finance, and even healthcare.
