Now let’s dive into specifics!
Recognizable Avatars
Our goal is to create an avatar from your selfie that would be instantly recognizable by your friends in a 3D experience. To ensure the likeness of our avatars to the original images, we utilize both focus groups and facial recognition technologies for testing. In fact, our accuracy reached such a level that we introduced the Avatar SDK Deep Fake Detector https://venturebeat.com/ai/itseez3d-launches-avatar-sdk-deep-fake-detector-to-bolster-user-identity-protection/, as even facial verification systems were being deceived by our avatars. For a deeper insight into how we test our avatars, you can refer to our white paper here: https://avatarsdk.com/blog/2023/06/08/avatars-you-can-recognize/.
Avatar Customization
We’ve designed the MetaPerson avatars to allow users to truly express themselves. Below is a list of customizations available with MetaPerson avatars:
- Head shape, eyes, nose and lips
- Colors for hair, skin, eyebrows and lips
- Eyeglasses
- Body shape comes with 8 adjustable parameters, and there’s also the option to define the body shape based on height and weight
- 16 predefined hairstyles (with more on the way)
MetaPerson Outfits
We’ve developed a system that facilitates the mixing and matching of shirts, pants, and shoes. This allows our avatars to emulate real-world outfit combinations, greatly expanding the array of available options. Moreover, each outfit can be customized using our AI generator.
As we forge partnerships with asset creators and expand our outfit collection, the expressive potential of MetaPerson avatars continues to grow!
MetaPerson Creator And Integration
Anyone can easily create and customize a MetaPerson avatar by visiting https://metaperson.avatarsdk.com. The MetaPerson creator is optimized for both desktop and mobile platforms. However, it’s not just tailored for end users. Businesses can seamlessly integrate avatar creation into their products using a straightforward iframe approach! By leveraging a simple JavaScript, you can import the exported avatar directly into your project. Find out more at https://avatarsdk.com/metaperson-creator/.
For our Enterprise customers who wish to customize the UI experience further, the option to use our flexible REST API for creating MetaPerson avatars remains available.
Sunsetting Head 2.0, FitPerson And The Old MetaPerson Avatars
The MetaPerson avatars cover the functionality of both Head 2.0 and FitPerson avatars, while being way higher quality. Because of that we stop offering Head 2.0 and FitPerson avatars to our new customers. The old MetaPerson avatars differ from the new ones by topology and we also are not offering this solution to our new customers. If you are our existing customer using one of these solutions, we will continue to support you, no actions are required from your side.
Let’s Create Avatars Together!
