**First Metaverse Digital Human Innovation Application Competition Concludes in Shenzhen **
The first Metaverse Digital Human Innovation Application Competition concluded on July 22 at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center, after over six months of events. Through three rounds of selection and roadshows, a total of 19 works stood out, including one grand prize winner, three best design winners, five extraordinary ability award winners, and ten rising star winners.
The competition was guided by the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism, and Sports, hosted by the Shenzhen Association of Digital Creativity and Multimedia Industry, and co-hosted by the Shenzhen Guanshanyue Art Museum and the global digital content platform OUTPUT. Since its launch on March 2, 2023, the organizing committee received 112 entries from around the country. After the initial review, 20 works were shortlisted and presented in a final on-site roadshow, and the various awards were ultimately determined through strict judging.
During the work collection period, the organizers set up regional competitions in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing, cooperating with local partners for promotion. The competition emphasized the cultivation of industry benchmarks and encouraged industry innovation. It used innovative technology capabilities and creative application design as scoring mechanisms, providing a stage for the digital human industry to showcase, exchange, and cooperate across boundaries.
It was observed that digital humans have slowly entered our lives, with their application scenarios gradually expanding from entertainment, live streaming, and film and television performances to roles in education, government affairs, marketing, finance, and cultural staff. Human-driven digital humans present real human expressions and actions on virtual digital human images through motion capture systems, thereby allowing real-time voice interaction with users.
During the award ceremony, the organizers launched the “Reshape and Reconstruct – Digital Humans and Digital Art Exhibition”, which will be held at the Shenzhen Guanshanyue Art Museum. The Shenzhen Metaverse Digital Human Application Innovation Center was also established, with plans to set up a dedicated digital human exhibition base in Shenzhen to help the industry develop.
A forum on the frontier trends and industry opportunities of AI digital human innovative applications was also held that day. Representatives discussed the integration and challenges of digital humans and artificial intelligence, the importance of human-computer interaction experience, market industry opportunities, and legal protection in the industry.
