Notes:
Virtual beings, also known as digital entities or digital agents, are computer-generated characters that are designed to interact with users in a natural, human-like way. They can be used in a variety of applications, including virtual assistants, customer service agents, and educational tools. In terms of using virtual beings as actors or thespians, this is an emerging area of technology that is still in the early stages of development. Some companies are experimenting with using virtual beings as performers in digital media, such as in movies, TV shows, or video games. These virtual beings can be created using 3D modeling and animation techniques, and can be manipulated and controlled in real-time to create realistic, life-like performances. This can provide a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to using human actors, and can allow for more creative and dynamic performances that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with human actors. However, the technology is still in the early stages of development, and it is not yet clear how widely it will be adopted or how it will evolve in the future.
- Socibot is a small, socially interactive robot created by Engineered Arts Limited. It can be used in a variety of settings, including public environments and research labs, and has the ability to display thousands of different faces and emotions. It can also be used to automate social media posts on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. The company also offers custom robots and technology products, and has created a 60cm tall robot called SociBot that features an animated face projected onto a human-shaped head. SociBot Mini is a smaller version of this robot that is designed to be used on a desktop and can predict emotions and “wear” human faces. It is equipped with multiple Ethernet connections and extra ports for easy integration with other technologies.
