## Introduction Holoworld AI is a cutting-edge platform that aims to revolutionize the consumer AI space by enabling anyone to create and use AI-powered digital characters. The platform is a composite of four key technological components: Hologram Mocap, Holo3D, HoloAnimate, and HoloGPT, each contributing to an integral part of the creation, usefulness, and interactivity of virtual characters. ## Technical Components ### Hologram Mocap The first pillar of our platform, Hologram Mocap, is an in-house computer vision machine learning model and SDK that performs real-time motion capture and kinematics calculation. Leveraging state-of-the-art computer vision techniques, the model captures and replicates human motions, translating them into realistic face, hand, and body movements for various 3D character formats. Already in production, Hologram Mocap is optimized for web usage, running at 60 frames per second (FPS). It can generate real-time ARKit-compatible blendshapes from a camera feed, video, or image. The performance of Hologram Mocap equals that of Apple's ARKit on iOS in terms of blendshape accuracy and FPS, ensuring a high-quality user experience across various platforms. ### Holo3D Holo3D is the second pillar, making it possible to create 3D character components at scale. Built atop stable diffusion algorithms and ControlNET, Holo3D enables anyone to generate detailed and location-specific textures and meshes, resulting in infinite variations of fully rigged characters compatible for streaming and gaming. This generative AI algorithm supports multimodal input, accepting either text or images. It uses our proprietary training data from an in-house repository of approximately **150,000 2D and 3D assets** specific to character IPs and web3 space. ### HoloAnimate HoloAnimate, the third pillar, is an innovative tool that uses the **Thin-Plate Spline Motion Model (TPS)**, an end-to-end unsupervised motion transfer framework, in combination of the latest **AI lipsync** techniques to produce lifelike animations from a single 2D image. With HoloAnimate, you can animate any 2D portrait based on any "reference" video, text, or audio. Like Holo3D, HoloAnimate supports multimodal references, including text, images, and audio. If using a reference video, the 2D portrait will move according to the reference. If using reference text or audio, the 2D character will move its lips according to what's written or spoken in the audio clip. ### HoloGPT and HoloAgents #### HoloGPT HoloGPT consist of a family of custom fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) for generating hyper-realistic character responses. It is capable of interpreting a wide array of prompts and inputs to create a unique dialogue that mimics the complexity and subtlety of human conversation, but with the context and behavior of the specified character. HoloGPT models will support various use-cases, such as focus on NSFW content or web3 data. #### HoloAgents AI agents are programs that use a language model and prompts as a reasoning engine to determine which actions to take and in which order. Holoworld AI empowers every user to customize and attach sophisticated AI Agents to their 3D characters. To make this happen, we've standarized the process which AI agents gain background context, behave, and interact. #### AI Personality JSON At Hologram, we've standarized the identity and behavior of our AI through JSON configuration format. This extensible approach allows for the encapsulation of a character's traits and behavioral parameters in a simple, human-readable format. Developers can easily tweak this JSON document to alter the AI character's personality, facilitating the creation of truly unique and personalized interaction models. ## All-in-One Platform for AI characters Holoworld AI's technical components operate in unison to form a complete AI-powered 3D character. The process, spanning from creation to animation to interaction, is detailed below: 1. Character Creation with **Holo3D** Our technological approach begins at the character creation stage with Holo3D. Traditional 3D character creation is a manual and intricate process. Holo3D employs an AI-driven method that uses generative algorithms built on top of stable diffusion and ControlNET. Holo3D's location-aware texture and mesh generation, coupled with the ability to create an unlimited array of variations atop fully rigged assets, establishes an efficient paradigm in 3D character creation. Our unique training data, sourced from an extensive collection of 2D and 3D assets, ensures the generation of distinctive characters that align with the specific needs of the web3 and NFT space. 2. Realtime Motion Capture with **Hologram Mocap** Once the character is formed, Hologram Mocap is instrumental. Traditional motion capture techniques can be labor-intensive; Hologram Mocap utilizes a machine learning model for real-time motion capture. Its web optimization and compatibility with ARKit standards offer a significant step towards democratizing high-quality motion capture and content creation. 3. Character Animation with **HoloAnimate** HoloAnimate is the key to animate our characters. Its sophisticated application of the Thin-Plate Spline Motion Model (TPS) facilitates end-to-end motion transfer from video or audio inputs to our 2D characters, enabling realistic animations. HoloAnimate's capability to accurately lipsync animations based on audio input augments its utility, broadening the spectrum of traditional animation techniques. 4. Character Interaction with **HoloGPT** and **HoloAgents** HoloGPT and HoloAgents consist of the final stage that enriches the interactivity and usefulness of our characters. Through fine-tuning the most robust large language models with use-case and IP-specific data, HoloGPT can generate the most engaging yet useful character responses. Our AI Personality JSON, aka "HoloAgents", enable anyone to create sophisticated AI Agents that can make and execute decisions on their own to accomplish online tasks or enhance immersion for the user. ### Future Extensibility via Hologram SDK Our SDK is designed to bridge the gap between the technical complexities of our platform and the needs of developers. It abstracts the technicalities of our technology stack, providing accessible APIs for developers to incorporate Holoworld AI into their applications, games, animations, or other content. One of the key technical advancements we've developed is the AI Agent Personality JSON document, a novel concept that encapsulates a character’s behavioral attributes. This JSON document acts as a 'character blueprint', enabling developers to effortlessly modify a character's personality traits and create a unique interaction model for each character. The establishment of these advanced standards and our continuous technical enhancements are at the heart of Hologram Labs' mission to unlock the next level of creativity through consumer-friendly AI technology. Through Holoworld AI, we are making significant strides towards a world where AI-powered 3D characters are an integral part of our digital experiences.
