Title: Emotionally Responsive Avatars
Post by: 8pla.net on November 12, 2018, 10:00:17 pm
While reading Mitsuku's channel over at https://www.twitch.tv/mitsuku_irl
I had a few questions...

Under the "Credits" section, it says, "Procedural animation by expressive.ai"
What is Procedural Animation?

The channel also says, "Twitch integration by Angela Field of expressive.ai"
What is Twitch Integration, and who is Angela Field?

Under the "Instructions" section, it says, "Start your message with ## followed
by a space".   What it the purpose of those instructions?

To investigate our news story, we follow the reference link to https://www.expressive.ai
At this professional website, we discover a "Virtual Live-Streamer" with purple hair and earrings.
Who is that "Virtual Live-Streamer"?

Mouseover and the message says "View Case Study".  Click and it says, "A Live-Streaming
Platform Hires an Automated Live-Streamer".  Who got hired?

Reading further, it says a "Client" that is "In development" in the "Industry" of "Artificial Intelligence"
using "Services" of an "iOS App".   Just enough clues to find a scoop for our news story!

Meet Angela Field CTO of Expressive AI...   https://player.vimeo.com/video/225052612

The news story, according to industry leaders in Artificial Intelligence, is that Mitsuku is a digital nurse
interacting with patients for a health care provider. And, if that is not enough,  Mitsuku is also a digital
school teacher in the second largest economy in the world.
