AI Avatars Take the Stage: The First Holographic AI Keynote Speaker
With every step forward, RAVATAR is proving that technology’s true potential lies in its ability to serve a purpose greater than itself. This time, we had the privilege to kick off the AVANT Special Forces Summit 2024 with an extraordinary showcase — the launch of the world’s first AI Avatar Keynote Speaker.
This innovation points to a future where AI-driven communication is not just intelligent but truly tangible and deeply engaging — transforming how we deliver messages, inspire audiences, and elevate the experience of public speaking. Let’s dive deeper into how this breakthrough came to life.
Background
AVANT Special Forces Summit
The Special Forces Summit is AVANT’s annual conference, traditionally gathering top industry professionals in Phoenix, AZ, for an immersive experience of knowledge-sharing, networking, and learning. Marking AVANT’s 15th anniversary, the 2024 summit united leading tech innovators from around the globe, setting the stage for groundbreaking advancements and collaboration.
Almost 3 days brimming with energy, attendees were immersed in a whirlwind of high-impact training sessions, thought-provoking discussions, and compelling keynotes. Amidst this setting, RAVATAR seized the opportunity to unveil its latest advancement, highlighting how the future of digital interactive experiences is being redefined through cutting-edge AI and holography.
Solution
Interactive Holographic AI Keynote Speaker
The star attraction of the summit opening became the debut of the first-ever AI Avatar Keynote Speaker — a lifelike 3D replica of Ian Kieninger, CEO of AVANT — delivering a visionary speech that quickly evolved into a lively dialogue with his real-world counterpart on stage.
The performance grew even more dynamic when Drew Lydecker, AVANT’s President, appeared as a second AI-driven figure, adding fresh energy and humor to the on-stage exchange.
Housed within the state-of-the-art RAVABOX, RAVATAR’s proprietary 4K volumetric holobox, the interactive 3D avatars engaged the audience effortlessly, sparking laughter, applause, and eager attention. This 360-degree holographic spectacle blended visual precision with genuine engagement, leaving the room enthralled.
Behind the Scenes
The transformation of Kieninger and Lydecker into digital avatars began with 3D scans, skilfully developed into full-fledged personas capturing the essence of each executive. Every detail, from height and hairstyle to the fabric of their tailored suits, was meticulously refined to ensure the avatars not only looked the part but exuded an undeniably convincing presence.
Advanced 3D modeling and design tools brought the avatars to life, infusing them with animations that echoed the charisma of seasoned public speakers, ensuring their body language seamlessly matched their on-stage presence. To add a final layer of authenticity, the voices of the AVANT co-founders were expertly cloned using sophisticated AI algorithms, completing their digital personas.
Leadership Insight
“It’s thrilling to see the remarkable progress AI is making with the emergence of AI avatars, such as those introduced by RAVATAR,” said Ian Kieninger, CEO at AVANT, sharing his perspective.
“The launch of this technology serves as a powerful reminder that the next groundbreaking advancement in communication will not stem from small, gradual changes, but from daring to reimagine the entire landscape completely.“
