Google AI has just unveiled Vlogger, which uses Google AI to turn anyone into a vlogger.
With a single image of a person, Vloggers can generate hyperrealistic, talking avatars. You just need to provide a photo of yourself, and the Vlogger brings you to life with facial expressions, hand movements, and even head motions!
The AI tool can synthesize speech with realistic lip sinking and gestures.
But Vlogger is not limited to this. It can go beyond animated gestures and follow the body language based on the audio input provided.
So, just imagine creating your own video with photorealistic images of yourself delivering a speech, presenting a presentation, conducting an interview, or even cracking jokes with realistic facial expressions!
This technology is expected to bridge the gap between recent developments in image generation and video synthesis. Here, vloggers can utilize a two-way approach.
Generative Diffusion-Based Network—This Generative Diffusion-Based Network analyzes audio input and can predict the corresponding facial expressions and body language. It can also follow the subtle connections between speech and physical movements like posture, gaze, and even emotions.
Advanced Image Diffusion Models—These allow control over the generated video throughout its duration. Using these models, seamless transitions and realistic movements of the talking avatar are possible.
Now, with Vlogger you do not need any technical experience or expertise. You can produce your dreamlike professional videos in no time!
Using this new Google Vlogger technology, anyone can now easily create tutorials or lectures with animated avatars explaining difficult topics. If you are shy about facing the camera, Google Vlogger will craft some social media updates without the need to face the camera in real life!
