Metahuman GuangYi
With the emergence of virtual characters in the digital era and the rapid advancement of AI technology, owning one's own intellectual property (IP) has become increasingly important. Therefore, we have created a Metahuman that resonates with the artistic and commercial atmosphere of the IMIX Art Park. As the Chief Experience Officer of Art Park, Guang Yi descends upon the IMIX, combining the virtual and the real to create unique emotional memories in this time and place.
Image is the foundation of digital humans, and having precise, visually appealing, and engaging avatars allows them to transcend dimensions and imbues them with a sense of soul. In the immersive digital project "Art Park 2.0" completed by BLUBLU in the first quarter, in collaboration with ArtPark in Changning District's IMIX city, a customized metahuman avatar named "Guang Yi" was created for them.
We drive the digital characters using a combination of facial capture and motion capture. For facial capture, we utilize the real-time connection between Live Face and iClone. As for motion capture, we employ the Perception Neuron 3 motion capture suit to make precise adjustments to the real-time transmitted motions, ultimately exporting satisfying animations.
For the final presentation, we utilize the Unreal Engine as the rendering platform. Unreal Engine's powerful real-time rendering capabilities fulfill the requirements of high-precision visuals and real-time program execution, enabling the presentation of real-time interactive applications featuring digital characters.
Innovative Interaction
We have pioneered the exploration of the meta humans' ability to break the boundaries between virtual and reality, creating an interactive game called "Take photos with Guang Yi" where metahuman engage with customers in commercial spaces. Customers playing in the plaza can connect to the virtual realm through their smartphones and invite the metahuman to take a photo together in a fun pose. The smartphone acts as a bridge between the virtual and real world, allowing customers to capture a moment with Guang Yi. They receive an instandly printed photo with Light Art's signature as a memorable keepsake, creating a memorable experience in the heart of the shopping mall. This technology and creativity fusion brings more fun and vitality to families and friends exploring the mall together.
