With the ever-increasing hype around the metaverse and the Web3 ecosystem, PUBG developer Krafton is now foraying into the virtual human segment with Ana. The company recently unveiled its first-ever virtual human that’s built using Epic’s Unreal Engine. And well, it looks like an actual human being. Check it out right here!
Krafton recently shared an official press release to show off “Ana,” its first-ever virtual human. As per the company, Ana is powered by hyperrealism, rigging, and deep learning. They say that Ana was developed through the hyperrealism production of Unreal Engine, and hence, has a hyper-realistic appearance. At first glance, one could easily assume that it’s a real human being rather than a digital character.
“ANA is a hyper-realistic virtual human created by KRAFTON’s unparalleled technology. We expect her to attract the interest and popularity of Gen Z around the world,” said Josh Seokjin Shin, the Head of the Creative Center at Krafton.
Going forward, Krafton aims to deploy Ana into the entertainment and esports sector. The company also says that the realistic digital character would help establish its Web 3.0 tech in the market, especially when the company is foraying into the metaverse and developing blockchain-based games.
