How much value can virtual digital humans create for humans? This year's ice and snow event will be shown for the first time in the mainland
In the summer of 2021, a total of 263 students participated in Stanford University's "Meta-Universe" virtual humanoid course. According to the "Virtual Digital Person In-depth Industry Report", we learned that the future identity-based virtual digital person market size is expected to reach 175 billion yuan. Research AndMarkets data also shows that the world's virtual market is expected to be as high as $504.76 billion by 2028, so virtual digital people may become dominant in the future.
For example, in this year's ice and snow event held in China, the mainland has used Baidu's AI sign language anchor in sports commentary for the first time. Baidu through the "Baidu Intelligent Yunxiling" platform independently developed machine translation, speech recognition and other artificial intelligence technology to construct this AI sign language anchor, after joining the Baidu AI brain, can accurately use sign language, expressions and spoken language for the ice and snow event to bring commentary to the hearing impaired people, so that the hearing impaired people can also feel the tense and exciting competition.
One might wonder, can't these sign language teachers at work stations also be able to do it? This is true, but studies have shown that even sign language teachers have a relatively high synchronization rate of sign language and spoken language, and there is often a loss of detail in the information conveyed by sign language, but AI sign language anchors solve this problem perfectly.
In the two months of research and development, Baidu not only highly restored the flexibility of real people, but also continuously optimized nearly 10,000 sign language movements, and then checked by professional sign language teachers, achieving 98.5% accuracy of lip type, more than 85% understandability, and 24 hours to provide services for everyone. The TV station "famous mouth" Zhu Guangquan and this "sign language anchor" online pk once, the result of their super fast speed can be accurately translated by the "sign language anchor". #央视AI手语主播正式上岗 #
"Digital people" is a trend in the future, a technology that the world is trying to break through. Baidu put virtual people in the field of sports for the first time, so that we can see not only the care for the hearing impaired, but also the impact on society, and the future will also reflect its own value in other fields!
