Alias is working on a new platform that will allow users to overlay a digital avatar upon themselves (in real time) in video calls and recordings.
Full Story
Fellow compatriots, gather round — we have news from the mother country!
Better yet, we have news from the mother city — Melbourne, Australia.
(You know, the cool older brother of Melbourne, Canada — no? Ok, moving on).
Alias is working on a new platform that will allow users to overlay a digital avatar upon themselves (in real time) in video calls and recordings.
(Kinda like how, in the past, a select few NFT collections have released software that lets you join video calls as your NFT character).
Which — just a few weeks ago, wouldn’t have gotten us all that excited, but as of February 2nd…
We now have a dream of (one day) being able to do the following:
-
Create our own ultra-realistic digital twin using Unreal Engine’s ‘MetaHuman’ software (see header image for an example ☝️)
-
Upload it to a platform like Alias
-
Use it on the Vision Pro
Because Apple’s current ‘Persona’ software just ain’t hitting the mark…
And we know, we know — before we even typed the words:
We are waaaay over simplifying a cross-device/cross-software process, and all of the red tape that is bound to come with it…
But just lettuce dream for a second would ya?
