Avatars in communication

One of the first skills that humans developed may be to communicate and the irony is that technology emerged to break the barriers of distance and bring us closer, however, many times we are in the same physical space and we do not talk to each other, we prefer someone behind a screen and now to lend a hand in all this, a team of researchers from Japan has made it possible for humans to chat with each other robotically and they claim that it is exactly like talking to real people.

They have created a half humanoid called Yui that would be controlled by a real person, using virtual reality glasses and a microphone, these devices allow them to see and hear what the robot sees and hears, even copying their facial expressions and voice, they have used technology of Avatar that allows people to play and interact with digital characters.

With Yui both the person controlling the robot and the person talking to it will feel more connected during a conversation, Yui can move her head and face in various ways just like a real person, just like people show emotions with Different facial movements like smiling or frowning, Yui can also do these movements.

The team of researchers planned where to place the motors based on the movement of the people's faces, they also observed how the people's eyes move and made sure that the robot's eyes were able to move in the same way, the researchers believe that Yui “ is better” than talking in person because the robot can focus on what is most important in the conversation.

The avatars created by the team can be controlled by humans or AI chatbots or a combination of both, Avatar technology is used in many areas such as virtual reality games and training simulation, an example of this is the avatars that can be created In the metaverse, which is a Virtual Reality Universe created so that people or their avatars can interact with each other and with digital objects in the future, this team plans to add arms to Yui and taking into account that Avatar technology is improving with the Advent of Artificial Intelligence I will not be surprised if it is soon being widely used in many sectors and will surely continue to change the way we communicate and work.
