Project Overview
aWorld uses the power of virtual reality to give artificial intelligence a voice and body. This experimental piece aims to show a glimpse of the future of screen media where characters are fully interactable. Using just your voice you are able to ask characters anything as if you were interacting with a real human, distorting the lines between the real world and the virtual world.
Background
Originally Named Libertalk with the goal of using Virtual Reality and AI powered characters to help treat people with social anxiety. aWorld has now pivoted to a broader project scope of introducing people to AI in a fun, accessible way.

- Feature 3: AI Powered Animation Manager. aWorld gives AI-powered characters autonomy, allowing them to decide on the animations they will play.
Technologies Used
