WorldViz Vizard & Virtual Humans 2019 (12x)

Notes:

A virtual human is a computer-based representation of a human being. It is typically created using computer graphics and other technologies, and can be experienced through a variety of media, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, or interactive computer-based applications. Virtual humans are often designed to exhibit lifelike behaviors and characteristics, such as facial expressions, body language, and speech, in order to create a more realistic and engaging experience for users.

Virtual humans can be used in a variety of settings, including virtual reality environments, educational platforms, and research experiments. For example, a virtual human might be used in a virtual reality environment to simulate a social interaction, such as a conversation or a job interview. This can provide a safe and controlled environment for users to practice and improve their social skills, such as communication and interpersonal relationships. Virtual humans can also be used in research experiments to study human behavior and social interactions, or to test hypotheses about the effects of different factors, such as body language or facial expressions, on human behavior.
