Nvidia's AI generated game avatar demo

Nvidia has just announced ACE for Games, a version of its Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine, to animate and give a voice to in-game NPCs in real-time.

CEO Jensen Huang explained that ACE for Games integrates text-to-speech, natural language understanding—or in Huang's words, "basically a large language model"—and automatic facial animator. All under the ACE umbrella.
