New AI Makes Video Avatars Gesture Naturally in Conversations
Realistic gestures could make virtual meetings and games feel more human.
The original article contains no information about SynerGest, AI-generated gestures, avatars, or virtual meetings. The source text is only a description of arXivLabs, a framework that allows collaborators to develop and share new arXiv features directly on the website.
According to the article, both individuals and organizations working with arXivLabs have embraced and accepted arXiv's values of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy, and arXiv says it is committed to these values and only works with partners that adhere to them. The article also invites those with an idea for a project that will add value for arXiv's community to learn more about arXivLabs. Any claims about gesture-generation research cannot be verified from this source.
- SynerGest is an AI that creates realistic gestures for two people talking in videos, making avatars seem more human.
- It could improve virtual meetings, games, and training by making interactions feel more natural and engaging.
- The technology is still in research and may not be available to consumers for a while, and it may require powerful computers.
Why It Matters
More natural virtual interactions could make online meetings, games, and training more engaging and effective.
