Krafton said it will leverage hyperrealism character production technology to create digital avatars of humans and also tap into artificial intelligence (AI), text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and voice-to-face to improve their communication skills. The virtual humans will also exhibit motion-captured vivid movements, pupil movements, a wide range of facial expressions, and hairs on the skin. Last month, at a town hall, Krafton CEO CH Kim had said the company will actively leverage new technologies to offer unique experiences to gamers and creators. "We are geared up for realising an interactive virtual world (Metaverse) in stages and will continue to introduce more advanced versions of virtual humans and content based on the belief in the infinite scalability of such technologies," Shin Seok-jin, creative director at Krafton said in a statement. Hyperrealism is an old art concept that has inspired artists to create sculptures and paintings that give the illusion of being real. In the present day, it has struck a chord with game developers and animators who now have access to the tools to make digital characters look like real people.

Krafton, the creator of PUBG, one of the most popular battle royale games globally, has plans to create new artificial intelligence-powered synthetic beings. This is the company's first foray into the realm of the metaverse. Krafton is set on creating realistic virtual avatars for usage in games, eSports, and as virtual influencers and singers. In addition, to strengthen their communication abilities, Krafton plans to use hyperrealism character manufacturing technology to build digital avatars of humans using artificial intelligence (AI), text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and voice-to-face. Krafton CEO CH Kim said last month at a town hall meeting that the business will actively harness new technology to provide unique experiences to gamers and creators.
