Have you ever gotten tired of hearing NPCs in video games spout the same repeated lines of dialogue? What if they actually responded like actual people and could hold a conversation? That’s something gamers have long asked for and are about to receive thanks to Nvidia ACE.
Nvidia demoed its AI platform Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) at CES 2024. Said demo took place in a dingy-looking cyberpunk cafe. Two NPCs, a chef called Jin and a patron called Nova, were present. What’s interesting about both of these characters is that they can have full conversations with you (and each other). This could be a glimpse of NPC behavior in future games.
