Sheridan College will partner with Reimagine AI, a leading software company building AI characters with personality and interactive functionality, to help them achieve breakthrough delivery of solutions within the area of digital character creation. The proposed project will center on research and development of character design, creation and integration into a rapid character pipeline. The results will demonstrate the advantages of character optimization and will be designed to integrate into Reimagine AI's conversational application for mobile processing. These avatars are lightweight, efficient computer-generated non-biased stylized characters that exhibit human-like qualities. The capacity to communicate with humans and provide companionship will be supported in real-time combining AI driven characters with natural human modalities including facial expressions, speech, and gestures. This project will solve several character implementation problems by simplifying a pipeline process and creating structured, lightweight characters and systems to control them. Through collaboration with Reimagine AI, the application will effectively produce Realtime results of communication and expressions by optimizing data. The potential for growth and the commercial application of Conversational AI solutions is growing in a wide range of areas covering training and education, government, military, pedagogy and healthcare. Success within this project will require a research and development process that achieves close coupling and consideration of the relationship between the aesthetics of computer graphics content creation, graphical limitations of hardware, intimate knowledge of complex production and post-production workflows, and software development. The project will enable a team of Sheridan researchers from the digital arts and computer sciences to work together with an industry partner to develop solutions that benefit the company, establishing them as a leader in providing state-of-the-art technology for implementing virtual humans for immersive interactive experiences that emphasize social engagement and aid, significantly impacting the company's revenue potential and employment growth.

谢里登学院将与 Reimagine AI（一家领先的软件公司合作，打造具有个性和交互功能的人工智能角色），帮助他们在数字角色创建领域实现突破性的解决方案交付。拟议项目将集中于角色设计、创作和集成到快速角色管道的研究和开发。 结果将展示角色优化的优势，并将被设计集成到 Reimagine AI 的移动处理会话应用程序中。这些化身是轻量级、高效的计算机生成的、无偏见的风格化角色，展现出类人品质。将人工智能驱动的角色与自然人类模式（包括面部表情、语音和手势）相结合，实时支持与人类交流和提供陪伴的能力。 该项目将通过简化管道流程并创建结构化、轻量级的角色和控制它们的系统来解决多个角色实现问题。 通过与Reimagine AI的合作，该应用程序将通过优化数据有效地产生沟通和表达的实时结果。 对话式人工智能解决方案的增长和商业应用潜力在培训和教育、政府、军事、教育学和医疗保健等广泛领域不断增长。该项目的成功需要一个研究和开发过程，实现计算机图形内容创建的美学、硬件的图形限​​制、复杂制作和后期制作工作流程的深入了解以及软件开发之间的关系的紧密结合和考虑。该项目将使来自数字艺术和计算机科学领域的 Sheridan 研究人员团队能够与行业合作伙伴合作开发有利于公司的解决方案，使他们成为提供最先进技术的领导者，以实现强调社交参与和援助的沉浸式互动体验的虚拟人类，从而显着影响公司的收入潜力和就业增长。
