At Computex in Taiwan, Nvidia showcased several noteworthy advancements, including their new Grace Hopper AI Supercomputer.
Additionally, the company rolled out its latest artificial intelligence framework, known as ACE or “Avatar Cloud Engine,” specifically geared towards the gaming sector. This system is crafted to breathe life into NPCs and significantly enhance player immersion, according to insights from Nvidia. blog post Nvidia has also partnered with Convai to release a demo video illustrating these advancements.
“Picture a game where you can engage in smart, unscripted conversations with NPCs that have evolving personalities over time, complete with realistic facial expressions, all in your preferred language,” the company elaborates in their blog.
For those looking to create or implement AI solutions for speech interaction and animation, the Avatar Cloud Engine offers tools that facilitate this process. For example, Nvidia Omniverse Audio2Face is a resource enabling creators to develop expressive facial animations for game characters directly from audio inputs. Moreover, MetaHuman characters can be constructed or integrated with facial animations through Omniverse connectors tailored for Unreal Engine 5.
With the rise of generative AI technologies, the gaming landscape is poised for a rapid and transformative shift that will seamlessly blend the boundaries of reality and the virtual realm.
“The emergence of generative AI holds vast potential to fundamentally transform how players interact with game characters, vastly heightening immersion in gaming experiences. Harnessing our extensive AI expertise and a long history of collaboration with game developers, NVIDIA is leading the charge in integrating generative AI within the gaming space,” remarked John Spitzer, NVIDIA's VP of developer and performance technology.
