The Shanghai Day of the China Pavilion at the World Expo 2020 Dubai officially opened on December 9. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, the "Shanghai Day Exhibition on Cloud" was featured at the Pavilion, showcasing products through the cloud, representing Shanghai's efforts in digitalization and building a smart city through innovative cooperation and digital intelligence. The event will last till March 31, 2021.
The exhibition was attended by nearly 60 high-tech enterprises from Shanghai and Yangtze River Delta region. Shanghai Emogent, as a representative firm in the AI sector, was invited and exhibited the digital human IRENE online. The AI-powered IRENE delivered an immersive experience to visitors at home and abroad.
Progress is driven by technology and future lies in innovation. IRENE, a digital intelligent human independently developed by Emogent, is a glowing business card for humanistic exchanges of science and technology with the world. IRENE is empowered by the most advanced technologies of speech recognition, semantic understanding, and speech synthesis with the ability to speak and comprehend language just as real humans; thanks to self-developed engines for highly accurate lip synthesis, facial expressions and motion synthesis, and intelligent cloud brain platform, IRENE is endowed with rich facial expressions and ability to express, keenly sense user behavior and interact with users in multiple dimensions as a digital intelligent human with wisdom and emotion rather than a cold robot.
In the premiere of IRENE at the UN HQ in 2018, she had an interesting interaction with Harvard professors. As global ambassador of the international jewelry brand K&IRèNE, IRENE made a stunning appearance at the fourth CIIE in November on a naked-eye 3D display screen. The expo is a world stage where IRENE performed a specific song "For true love, we will fight" dedicated to anti-pandemic efforts.
IRENE is emerging as a digital intelligent service star and, through humanistic exchanges in various fields, promotes business development. Applied to cultural expo and tourism, for example, IRENE serves as an intelligent visit guide embedded on smart large screens and other terminals, providing intelligent services including path planning, information inquiry and interpretation and creating an immersive interaction experience.
This HMI product, with sufficient effort from Emogent, is a crystallization of civilization in the new era.
Founded in 2016, Emogent is an innovative high-tech enterprise committed to building an AI Interaction System, highlighting digital intelligent human as its core, and integrating R&D, production and sales. The new concept of Humanistic Intelligence is born from a consideration for bringing users realistic, humanistic interaction, with focus on humanistic care, service and emotion.
Emogent is developing a one-stop solution platform for metaverse digital humans with Irene as the core, which is "powered by humanities, driven by intelligent technologies and artistically expressive".
This multi-functional SaaS platform can balance the general and individual needs from users, allowing users to personalize a virtual digital human with external appearance and style by preference and to be touched during humanistic interaction with the digital human. In an education scenario, for example, IRENE serves as a personal tutor for preschool children and answers everything about the world; in a daily life scenario, she is a service steward for every human, presenting information on weather, stock market quotation, traffic routes, etc. She empowers a better life with humanistic rather than programmed care. When applying IRENE in exhibition, finance, tourism, or education, healthcare, and entertainment industries, Emogent always follows the new business model of "personalization-manufacturing-consumption" while pursuing innovations. A better life is truly empowered in a trinity of brand, humanity and scenarios when humanistic care is connected with needs in a new model of AI empowerment.
