Nvidia has announced that its Audio2Face animation technology is going open source. On paper, that should make it much easier for a wide range of game developers to create AI characters with convincing facial expressions, including during real-time conversations with gamers.
To recap and according to Nvidia's own words, "by using large language and speech models, generative AI is creating intelligent 3D avatars that can engage users in natural conversation, from video games to customer service. To make these characters truly lifelike, they need human-like expressions."
