Digital Double & Digital Humans

Notes:

Digital doubles and digital humans are similar concepts, but they have some important differences. Digital doubles are digital replicas of real-world people, typically created using 3D modeling and animation techniques. These digital replicas can be used for a variety of purposes, such as in movies and video games, where they can be used to create realistic, life-like characters that can be manipulated and controlled by the user.

Digital humans, on the other hand, are digital entities that are designed to interact with users in a more natural, human-like way. These entities are often based on artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies, and are designed to understand and respond to user inputs in a way that simulates human conversation. Digital humans can be used in a variety of applications, such as virtual assistants, customer service agents, and educational tools.

While both digital doubles and digital humans are digital representations of people, the main difference between them is the level of interactivity and intelligence they possess. Digital doubles are typically more static and are designed for use in specific applications, such as movies or video games. Digital humans, on the other hand, are designed to be more interactive and intelligent, and can be used in a wider range of applications.
