Eternity's 'Zaein'
Pulse Nine's virtual human girl group Eternity's 'Zaein'
ETERNITY is an 11-member virtual human
K-pop idol girl group belonging to Korea's PULSE9, which debuted on March 22,
2021, and created with AI technology, DEEP REAL AI.
The era in which virtual humans
communicate with humans in real time is fast approaching. Until now, famous
virtual humans appeared only in 'pre-produced' contents such as pictorials and
music videos.
It is difficult to show a natural
appearance in a live broadcast because you have to change the shape of the
mouth, expression, angle, etc. in real time. A virtual human idol that has
overcome these limitations is drawing attention by appearing in a 'live
broadcast'. It's so similar to a real person, it's almost admirable.
On the 21st, Pulse9, a company
specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) graphics, announced that its
virtual human idol 'Zaein' appeared on the live broadcast of Arirang Radio
'Super K-pop' on the 20th.
The broadcast was broadcast through
Arirang Radio's broadcasting channel and YouTube Live. Zaein communicated in
real time by reading stories and chatting and choreography together.
Pulse9 has developed a new 'Deep Real
Live' technology for live broadcasting. Zaein's face was created through
Pulse9's virtual face production technology 'Deep Real AI'. This was
synthesized in real time on the face of the body model at 30 frames per second.
Signal processing conversion was
performed in accordance with international broadcasting standards, and various
emotions were expressed in detail.
No special equipment is required. Just connect to a computer with Pulse9's conversion program installed and send it.
