The Digital Humans are coming.....
As you know, I've been a bit of a fanboi over the past year for all things to do with Virtual / Digital Humans (Avatars - yes, I said that word)
UBS has teamed up with IBM and avatar biometrics outfit FaceMe to build two "animated digital assistants", which will now be tested over three months.

What is of more interest to me is what technology is being used to make/render the Digital Humans.
Enter (another) New Zealand based Digital company - (it makes you wonder if all these companies originally did work on Lord Of the Rings or other similar movies and are now switching all that knowledge to this area? just a theory)
Anyway, here's another quick video showing the general offering from the FaceMe company.
