Presentation
Designing the Digital Human: Trials, Tribulations, and Triumphs
DescriptionWhat does it take to move a digital human from a flashy demo to real-world customer interactions in under a year? Join WWT’s behind-the-scenes journey—from debuting our first fully interactive avatar live at a major industry event to re-engineering ‘Kendra,’ a next-gen MetaHuman built for global enterprise scale.
We'll share the unfiltered experiences: last-minute hardware hacks, audio challenges, licensing landmines and tackling the uncanny valley head-on. You’ll also learn how we optimized our pipeline for sub-1.5-second latency, tailored deployments for offline, hybrid, and cloud setups, and designed a robust architecture capable of real-world use.
Leave with actionable insights, honest pitfalls and practical guidance for creating digital humans that do more than impress audiences—they deliver measurable enterprise value.
