Expert, Natural Q&A with NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar for Project Tokkio

Nov 8, 2021

In this demo, we see one example of Project Tokkio—a “talking kiosk” reference application. NVIDIA Maxine embodies a photorealistic, life-like autonomous toy avatar that responds to challenging domain-specific questions. The avatar, in NVIDIA Omniverse, is a reference application that uses NVIDIA Riva for speech AI, NVIDIA Megatron-Turing NLG 530B large language model for natural language understanding, and a combination of NVIDIA Omniverse animation systems for facial and body animation based on an audio source.

NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar Platform for building real time, interactive, AI assistants

Mar 23, 2022

Making virtual robots - or avatars - look, sound and behave realistically is a complex process.

NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar is a technology framework built on the Omniverse platform that lets developers quickly build and deploy intelligent virtual robots, or "avatars" for different use cases with the ability to connect NVIDIA AI SDKs for speech and intelligence, to Omniverse rendering and animation technology for final output.

Let Toy Jensen introduce Omniverse Avatar and NVIDIA Tokkio, one of the applications built on top of the Omniverse Avatar platform.

NVIDIA Tokkio brings AI-driven customer service to customer service touchpoints in retail outlets, quick service restaurants, or the web.
