In the fields of 3D and AI, XVERSE has accumulated deep expertise and a complete strategic layout. In 3D, the company has independently developed the industry-leading "end-cloud collaborative" 3D interactive technology, pioneering a new 3D experience that is zero-barrier (lightweight), one-stop (fast), and high-quality (beautiful). In AI, the company has open-sourced a hundred-billion-parameter multilingual general large model—the best-performing among models of the same size—which is free for commercial use and aims to promote domestically produced alternatives to large models and the development of industry applications.

XVERSE has also established long-term academic collaborations with top universities such as Tsinghua University and Harbin Institute of Technology, as well as leading graphics scholars including Professor Yan Lingqi from UC Santa Barbara.

XVERSE has provided one-stop technology and services to numerous leading enterprises, including: the Ruins of St. Paul's in Macau, the Nanjing Grand Bao'en Temple, CCTV, Tencent Music's TMELAND, FAW-Volkswagen, Adidas, Postal Savings Bank of China, and the Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

XVERSE is committed to building an AI-driven, one-stop platform for 3D content production and consumption, where "3D people" are crucial. Today we will discuss in detail the next-generation "multimodal digital human" solution. Currently, there are diverse definitions of digital humans in the industry; we simply categorize them into 2D or 3D digital humans. The main differences are as follows:

Where are multimodal digital humans applied?

Virtual IP: Customized virtual idols/hosts/streamers to build brand-exclusive IP images;

Chat Companion: Provides role-specific chat, psychological counseling, and other companion services, creating a unique companionship experience;

Narration & Guidance: Combined with 3D scenes in tourist attractions, museums, and exhibitions to make visits more immersive and vivid;

Customer Service & Training: Designs domain-specific professional knowledge bases to provide consulting, training, and other professional answers, combining personality with expertise;

Online Live Streaming: Responds to users in real time during e-commerce sales and news broadcast scenarios, providing interactive and personalized experiences.

XVERSE's Solution and Unique Advantages:

XVERSE hopes digital humans will possess "beauty within reach." The company has self-developed a web-based rendering engine, focusing on creating a high-quality character material system usable on the web, with effects comparable to those of MetaHuman. It maintains high-quality rendering performance even on devices with limited computing power such as mobile phones, delivering realistic human materials. In addition, the engine's production side integrates 3D production modules such as model retopology, texturing, and blend shape generation, enabling efficient customization of personalized images.
