Virtual Avatars
no high-end GPU or cloud required. Response time is instantaneous—whether the avatar speaks for 2 seconds or 20 minutes. An avatar can be generated from almost any video or photo. Once created, it can voice any text or audio with perfect lip synchronization in any language.
And who knows?:
-Perhaps a product like this could even contribute to the development of a secret OpenAI project alongside designer Jony Ive—since now the most resource-intensive part of avatar creation can run directly on the user’s device.
-Maybe robot manufacturers would take interest, too—this could make their robots more engaging, expressive, and emotionally appealing in human interactions. We could even imagine avatar marketplaces, custom avatars for brands, and much more.
I developed this technology to help people with disabilities—especially those who have lost their voice or their original appearance—by creating free, personalized digital clones (voice + avatar). Using a Telegram bot, it gives them a way to communicate and reconnect.
The author showcases a technology for creating instant live avatars with lip-sync on everyday hardware, aiming to help people with disabilities and potentially revolutionizing human-computer interaction.
