Carolyn Giardina Visual effects studio Digital Domain — the company whose credits have ranged from “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” to “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” — has teamed up with Amazon Web Services to accelerate the development and global reach of its Autonomous Virtual Human (AVH) technology by migrating it to the cloud and involving AWS‘ generative AI and machine learning tools.
The company aims to expand the use of its AVH tech in areas including storytelling, customer engagement, and interactive entertainment with real-time virtual human interaction, in industries ranging from entertainment to hospitality and healthcare.
Reflecting this work, it introduced prototype virtual human Zoey for such purposes in 2022. The studio’s digital human work for film dates back further, notably with David Fincher’s 2008 fantasy “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” for which the company’s work in aging Brad Pitt in reverse earned a VFX Oscar. “This collaboration with AWS marks a significant milestone for Digital Domain and our ambitions in virtual human technology,” said Digital Domain CEO Daniel Seah. “By migrating our Autonomous Virtual Human technology to the cloud, we are not only enhancing its scalability and performance but also expanding its accessibility to a global audience.” He pointed to its potential, for instance, through a Digital Domain partnership with airport hospitality firm Plaza Premium Group.
The development work also involves use of Amazon Bedrock and its foundation models and Amazon Polly, to help enhance voice outputs.
