Sharda University Students Create ‘AVA’: An Advanced Digital Human That Talks Like a Real Person

Aman Singh and Anusha Khan, two students at Sharda University in Greater Noida, have collaborated on an invention that has the potential to revolutionise digital interaction in the future. The virtual human is called AVA, and it talks and looks like a person, and it reacts in real-time and makes conversations feel natural and engaging.

Aman Singh, a Computer Science student at Sharda University, shared that the project was carried out under the expert guidance of Ankit Khare, head of the open-source NCR community. After months of dedicated research and development, AVA was successfully brought to life.

How Does AVA Work?

AVA is created on the basis of artificial intelligence and 3D animation technologies. It does more than just answer questions, but it smiles, changes facial expressions, has a human-like voice, and comprehends what a user can say and reply to it. Due to this, the dialogue with AVA is very real, like talking to a human being.

Wide-ranging Applications

The technology behind AVA is designed for diverse uses such as virtual guides, online tutors, helpdesk agents, and digital assistants. Digital humans like AVA are poised to play a significant role in education, customer service, online training, and virtual support systems in the coming years.

Research and Development

According to Aman and Anusha, they intended to make a digital human capable of providing a real experience in teaching, sharing information and providing aid. They have researched facial expressions, natural ways of discussing, and human ways of communication and have brought the knowledge and skills into an artificial intelligence model to train AVA to be useful.

Talent of Indian students

The faculty of Sharda University has commended this project stating that it not only demonstrates the efforts and talents of the students but it also indicates that Indian students can acquire new technologies that are advanced.

In the future, digital humans such as AVA can cause major transformations in the education, corporate training, and customer support industries. Aman and Anusha are really pleased with their accomplishment and they think that virtual humans such as AVA will become very significant in helping people do their daily chores easily.
