NVIDIA announced the Omniverse Avatar platform, which will enable the creation of artificial intelligence-based 3D avatars ready for use in metaverse
At the GTC conference, NVIDIA announced Omniverse Avatar, a platform for generating artificial intelligence-based interactive 3D avatars. This definition makes a strong reference to the Metaverse, announced a few days ago by Mark Zuckerberg, which will require billions of avatars to accommodate users.
The strength of the Omniverse Avatar platform is that it uses the best graphics technologies developed over the years by NVIDIA to create high-end 3D avatars. Characters “, thanks to artificial intelligence, will be interactive and intelligent, able to perceive what is around them and have conversations on various topics.” Omniverse Avatar uses the company’s technologies in the field of artificial voice intelligence, computer vision, natural language understanding, recommendation engines and simulation technologies, “the company said.
NVIDIA’s Omniverse Avatar targets
The Omniverse Avatar 3D avatar platform opens the door to creating AI assistants that easily scale to any industry. Avatars, in addition to being useful in the metaverse, can provide valuable support for billions of daily customer service interactions across industries, from restaurant orders and banking transactions to meetings and reservations for goods and services, and more, “leading,” she says NVIDIA, “to increase business opportunity and customer satisfaction.”
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, said: “The time has come for intelligent virtual assistants. Omniverse Avatar combines key NVIDIA graphics, simulation and artificial intelligence technologies to create some of the most complex real-time applications ever created. Collaborative and collaborative robots and virtual assistants can be used in an incredible number of scenarios. “
It is no coincidence that Huang, the CEO, mentioned virtual assistants. Among other things, NVIDIA’s Omniverse Avatar aims to help create a new generation of virtual assistants that will be even more driven by artificial intelligence than Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant, or Apple’s Siri. According to NVIDIA, it’s time for a generational shift to offer “truly” interactive 360-degree assistants that you might find on the Metaverse.
NVIDIA Technologies for Omniverse Avatar
NVIDIA technologies for Omniverse Avatar are manifold. Speech recognition is based on NVIDIA Riva, a software development kit that recognizes speech in multiple languages; language comprehension is based on the pre-trained Megatron 530B model that recognizes, understands and generates human speech; and the NVIDIA Merlin framework enables companies to build deep recognition systems that can handle large amounts of data to deliver smarter recommendations.
This is a huge risk to NVIDIA and the IC manufacturer’s last big investment in the future Internet, which comes just hours after Meta closed the deal with AMD.
