The Evolution of Avatars
Avatars are the cornerstone of Synthesia's offerings. Currently, we feature over 160 stock avatars, enabling users to create polished and professional content. Earlier this year, we introduced Expressive Avatars, capable of understanding the emotional context of the script to deliver more nuanced performances. However, today's focus is on Personal Avatars, which empower individuals to create videos featuring themselves.
Creating Your Digital Twin
Previously, creating a custom avatar involved sending professionally shot footage to us, a process that could be time-consuming and costly. With Personal Avatars, the creation process has been streamlined dramatically. Users can now create their avatars in less than five minutes either through a webcam on our platform or by recording footage on a smartphone, which can be uploaded later.
Realistic Representation
One of the standout features of Personal Avatars is their remarkable realism. We conducted a fun challenge to differentiate between a live human and an AI avatar, showcasing how lifelike these avatars can look and sound. Each Personal Avatar can now communicate in 29 different languages using your actual voice, eliminating the peculiarities of previous iterations where avatars were not in sync with user voices when rendered in different languages.
Creative Freedom with Personal Avatars
The creative possibilities with Personal Avatars are virtually limitless. Users can place their avatars in various natural backgrounds—from city streets to parks—and can also set different camera angles. This flexibility allows for more relatable content, enhancing viewer engagement. Whether seated, standing, or even performing yoga, avatars can adopt various postures and styles.
Upgraded Avatar Tech
We have significantly improved the underlying technology of the avatars. The new lip-sync capabilities are powered by Expressive AI, ensuring more accurate mouth movements. This advancement enhances the professional quality of videos significantly and makes the avatars feel more genuine.
Practical Applications of Personal Avatars
The introduction of Personal Avatars opens the door to various applications:
Personalized Sales Outreach: Video communications have shown to increase engagement rates. By personalizing videos for specific recipients, companies can boost their responses and interactions.
Social Media Content: For platforms like TikTok, where dynamic and engaging content is essential, Personal Avatars allow users to create captivating videos quickly, reducing production time significantly.
Leadership Announcements: Using avatars enables executives to communicate messages effectively without needing to be available at all times.
Conclusion
Synthesia now offers two distinct types of avatars—Expressive Avatars, ideal for polished content, and Personal Avatars, perfect for a more informal touch. With powerful new features and capabilities for creativity, Personal Avatars are set to enhance how teams communicate. Keep your eyes peeled for future updates as we merge these technologies for an even more engaging experience.
