Nvidia has launched the Avatar Cloud Engine, which combines three-dimensional (3D) graphics and artificial intelligence to build lifelike 3D models of humans to serve as avatars in the metaverse. Nvidia's Rev Lebaredian predicts that it ultimately will be impossible to determine whether these avatars are a human or a bot. Said Nvidia's Jensen Huang, "Avatars will populate virtual worlds to help us create and build things, to be the brand ambassador and customer service agent, help you find something on a website, take your order at a drive-through, or recommend a retirement or insurance plan." Nvidia's Audio2Face tool matches the avatar's expression to the words it speaks, while its Audio2Emotion tool alters the avatar's facial expression based on the feeling of the words.
