Five Levels of Autonomous Animation
The intersection of AI and CGI (and eventually AR/VR) requires a new approach to animation – one based on the presence of a Digital Brain to autonomously animate Digital Humans in real-time. Digital Humans express responses and information based on both the context created by the user and the content being delivered.
In the same way there is a taxonomy for the different levels of Autonomous Vehicle technology, Soul Machines believes our industry needs a clear taxonomy for Autonomous Animation to clearly differentiate between the real and the fake. As a result, we have come up with five levels of Autonomous Animation in an effort to create a standard for measuring innovation in this field.
