Do you remember the fear of being dominated by virtual streamers? Previously, virtual streamers on the market either moved stiffly or had blank expressions, resembling robots that could only read scripts, making one wonder: can't even virtual characters have a bit of "human touch" these days?
Now, this issue has been resolved! The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tencent have teamed up to launch an AI virtual streamer tool called AnchorCrafter! It can act like an experienced sales host, holding products and using smooth, natural movements and expressions to promote your products enthusiastically!
It allows you to choose your favorite streamer from many online hosts, and then uses AI technology to "copy" her image into the virtual world, making her your exclusive sales host! You only need to provide a photo of the host and the product you want her to showcase, and AnchorCrafter will automatically generate an exciting sales video!
AnchorCrafter also allows you to precisely control the host's movements and expressions; like a director, you can design various interactive actions according to your needs, allowing the host to perfectly blend with the product and showcase its most appealing aspects!
So, how does AnchorCrafter achieve all this?
First, it captures product photos from multiple angles and utilizes powerful AI algorithms to extract product features, ensuring that the generated virtual product looks exactly like the real one, with every detail perfectly replicated!
Second, it captures the movements and expressions of real hosts and converts them into data, which is then "injected" into the virtual host model, making the virtual host's actions and expressions more natural and fluid!
Finally, it employs a special training method that emphasizes the interaction details between the hands and the product, avoiding awkward moments like hands passing through objects or products floating!
Experimental results show that the virtual sales videos generated by AnchorCrafter achieve industry-leading levels in both image quality and movement fluidity, even comparable to real hosts!
With AnchorCrafter, you no longer have to worry about virtual hosts being "out of touch"! It can help you easily create high-quality sales videos, attract more consumers, and boost product sales!
In the near future, AnchorCrafter is expected to become a standard feature for e-commerce platforms, providing consumers with a more convenient and efficient shopping experience!
