of Artificial Intelligence
Location: MBZUAI University - Abu Dhabi
Technology: Interactive Speech
NEW PERSPECTIVES
The brightest minds of the United Arab Emirates have come together to celebrate the launch of the MBZUAI University in Abu Dhabi, the first artificial intelligence university in the world. The virtual avatar owned by ONE THOUSAND™ was chosen as the face, spokesman for the new academic mission that will establish the position of the UAE at the forefront of the most advanced technologies.
INTERACTIVE SPEECH
Our interactive face immediately gave a distinctly technological cut to the event, addressing international guests and outstanding personalities. After the first opening speech our special software lent its face to various speakers, first of all the United Arab Emirates Minister of State, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber.
TECHNOLOGY
The software developed in-house let us encode the movements and facial expressions of each speaker, reproducing them digitally through our Avatar version for men or women. The interaction has always taken place in real time, keeping perfect synchrony between the real voice of the speakers and the virtual response of the face.
POPULARITY
Given the success of our technology, some particularly influential Arab personalities have been involved who have promoted the event through their social channels. These well-known faces have had the chance to experiment with our Face Mocap technology, giving life and voice to their virtual alter ego thanks to a shooting published online on their own profiles. It looks like our Avatar has become an influential face as well!
