The Computer Graphics Lab at ETH Zurich presents a system for designing interactive, story-driven digital characters. The system brings together large language models, memory, dynamic personality control, and a physical setup to create believable AI-powered characters that users can engage with through natural conversation. It integrates real-time speech recognition and synthesis, animation synthesis, and webcam-based user analysis - allowing characters to perceive, understand, and react to users in believable ways.
As a proof of concept, Digital Einstein is introduced - a digital version of Albert Einstein capable of lifelike, believable interactions. The system integrates cutting-edge AI components into a unified, immersive experience.
The Computer Graphics Lab at @ethz.ch has developed a powerful new system for creating interactive, story-driven digital characters that enable natural, believable AI conversations. Find out: cgl.ethz.ch/Downloads/Pu...
