Avatar technology uses AI to generate high-fidelity, customizable 3D digital human models (avatars) from a single 2D source, like a user's selfie.

This technology streamlines digital identity creation: the core process transforms a single selfie into a fully rigged, customizable 3D model in seconds. Developers leverage SDKs (like Avatar SDK Leap) for seamless integration into major platforms, including Unity and Unreal Engine. The system offers both photorealistic and cartoon-style outputs, allowing users to personalize features, body type, and clothing. This rapid, AI-powered pipeline significantly reduces the time and cost associated with producing thousands of unique, cross-platform digital assets, effectively bridging the gap between real-world identity and virtual presence for games and metaverse applications.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Michi — giving a face to a conversational AI model](https://tokyo.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_s9Dq_V1NOf8)

Michi is a voice-first conversational travel concierge built at the Perxona hackathon. Users talk with a 3D avatar to explore Tokyo activities, revise preferences in real time, and build an itinerary through natural conversation. A language model manages the dialogue and produces structured proposals, while a deterministic TypeScript engine controls retrieval, eligibility, scheduling, availability, and pricing against a bounded activity catalogue. Local text and audio models help adapt Michi’s delivery without influencing planning decisions.
