Comedian, Actor and Host Howie Mandel Steps into the Metaverse powered by DeepBrain AI
DeepBrain AI, a member of the Born2Global Centre, and Howie Mandel have put their brains together to create AI Howie, a fully interactive virtual human AI replica of the famous comedian, actor, host, and technology enthusiast.
"I am equally thrilled, excited, and terrified to finally have the ability of showing up and doing things without going anywhere or doing anything," said Howie Mandel. "Thank you, DeepBrain."
DeepBrain AI applies deep learning technology to create hyper-realistic virtual humans through its AI Studios and the AI Human platforms. These virtual humans are digital twins of the real person, with the same appearance, voice, gestures, and subtle mannerisms. The AI Studios platform enables 'script-to-video' software that synthesizes dynamic video content in seconds, producing the quickest and most realistic AI-generated videos.
This is a powerful communication and marketing tool for celebrities, professional athletes, news anchors, and even politicians. Before working with Howie Mandel, the DeepBrain AI team created digital twins of Premier League soccer superstar Son Heung-Min, multiple news anchors across Asia, and South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol.
In addition to the 'script-to-video' capabilities, the company provides fully conversational experiences with its AI Human software. The AI Human solution enables fans to interact and engage with AI Howie by simply asking questions. For example, when asked, "What was your favorite act on AGT this season?" The AI Howie model responds in real-time to support interactive, fun, and engaging fan experiences. AI Humans are available within mobile apps, web browsers, or voice-activated kiosks.
Eric Jang, CEO, DeepBrain AI: "Our vision is to humanize digital experiences and empower creative teams to generate immersive content at scale. Working with Howie Mandel was a fun experience, and we are excited to see how the AI Howie collaboration will connect with his fans worldwide."
