Language
We named ourselves Aww, with the hope to keep producing something that engages people’s imagination and makes them feel in “Aww”.
Our mission is to create new concepts that can be part of culture. Even if it’s a little twisted, we hope to share our message and get people thinking.
Aww inc is a virtual human x AI company re-imagining the future of storytelling, and unleashing human potential with the power of virtual.
After more than 10 years of research in human movement and facial expression, Aww leads in creating and producing humans in the virtual realm that look no different from real humans. Beyong our pioneering development and technology, we have total creativity in all aspects of creating a virtual human - including production, direction, and storytelling.
With the evolution of artificial intelligence, we are researching and developing new technologies to make interaction with virtual humans more natural and realistic. By combining speech recognition, large-scale language modelling, speech synthesis and text-to-motion with our own CG models, we have succeeded in realising photo-realistic virtual humans.
