Nvidia Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine.

Nvidia Omniverse ACE enables fast deployment of metaverse avatars

Nvidia launched its Avatar Cloud Engine to enable easier and faster deployment of interactive avatars for its Omniverse and metaverse applications.

The Omniverse ACE platform, unveiled at the GTC keynote event, enables developers to create AI-powered avatars responding to natural speech and making intelligent recommendations

As part of the keynote, Nvidia showed off Violet, an AI-powered customer service assistant ready to take your order. Nvidia ACE makes it easier to deploy engaging avatars on any crowd. It should be able to understand and communicate with people, and ACE has the building blocks to bring them to life. It uses services like “audio to face” to do things like lip-syncing.
