The recently released VR game Alien: Rogue Incursion made use of some intriguing new generative AI technology to bring its AI character to life.
ACE is an acronym for Avatar Cloud Engine, and represents a new technology suite from Nvidia, a company known for their development of graphics processing units.
Nvidia had this to say about their technology used for Alien: Rogue Incursion
Survios’ Alien: Rogue Incursion is available now on PCVR and PSVR2 with NVIDIA Audio2Face technology. An action-horror Virtual Reality game, Alien: Rogue Incursion features an original story that fully immerses players within the terrors of the Alien universe. This labor of love was designed by Alien fans for Alien fans.
During players’ journey for survival, they will encounter a few humanoid survivors, all of which are powered by Audio2Face, generating realistic facial animation based on voice actors’ recorded dialog.
The Audio2Face tech is used for what might be traditionally accomplished through manual animation or facial motion capture to deliver simulated expressions from a voice actor’s performance.
Nvidia released a short video showcasing the tech in action for Zula’s synthetic companion character Davis 01, played by Robbie Daymond. Be warned that this video contains a spoilers if you have yet to play the game:
Another installment of Alien: Rogue Incursion is currently in development.
