Just have some nerd tell us what it does in no uncertain terms already. The only thing I learned from this is that you guys are really pleased with yourselves.

I think the video does a pretty good job telling you what this does. it's a facial animation solution powered by AI

"AI" @@HakaiKaien

Holly macaroni! I was happy with the game tech advancements in NFS underground 😂.

[@androwaydie4081]

Can't wait for MetaPron.

[@stuckon3d]

this is very interesting, is it possible to direct the actor via sequencer in ue5 to get a repeatable performance, for a example to create an animated short movie and then render it out.

[@HavocIsshadow]

I’d love to experiment with this on the game I’m building, can’t afford it yet as I’m a new developer. But what I’ve played with on the website! It seems really cool.

Put this beside Playstation 2 similar video from the lat 90's. That was peak. Now we're just in marketing territory.

[@schorltourmaline4521]

Anyone else worried that half it's emotions, even when being "happy", are "Disgust"?

[@metasoulone]

Yes, it's possible to feel happy with something disgusting and even laugh about it.

[@schorltourmaline4521]

@@metasoulone Not the point that was being made, but good luck with your goal to create Skynet.

[@RobertA-hq3vz]

This does not bring you one step closer to sentient machines, as stated. It just renders the facial expressions, but there's no thought or emotions behind it.

[@goldennboy1989]

Documentation Link returns a 404 Error

[@metasoulone]

You are right; we just fixed that; thank you.

[@lucianodaluz5414]

And...what it does ?

[@shoukaiser]

I want to be very interested and excited for this but the website and microsoft store page were just not helpful enough. There's not enough raw, useable, 'this is what it is and what it looks like to work with,. I work in 3D and AI avatar space, I'm tired, busy, and basically, I don't get it....much.
- How does it actually work? As in if I and animators were going to use this, what would we need to know and do? IE what's the pipeline look like?
- Does it handle lipsync or what would you pair with it?
As someone who can be a bit cerebral and up in the clouds, I feel like a more practical down to earth video (and websites) would go a long way in helping this hit home and sell it.
Also the captioning not matching with what's spoken or matching the timing well at times is super distracting. That combined with the ethereal, but also sleepy preentation, makes this video feel dramatically longer than some of the 15-30 minute videos I've watched today in the realm of UE content. It seems like something great may be here, but /what is it???/

@@metasoulone "MetaSoul Unreal Engine 5.3 Plugin For Metahuman" self eplanatory: it just adds a layer of scripted emotions to metahuman (Metahuman is a large and incredible Unreal 5.3 addon that handle human creation, customization, lipsync and animation, and now you can add a subtle layer of scripted emotions with MetaSoul 1.0)

[@kompst_tu]

They still need to fix blinking animations. Something about it looks so artificial.

and breathing. it doesnt appear to be breathing at all.

[@AnthonyPyper]

Can this work offline?

[@metasoulone]

Originally, the EPU (Emotion Processing Unit) was developed as an SoC (Solution on Chip) to be implemented into a robot as a chip to work offline. Today, it's not in production anymore.

[@fiery_transition]

@@metasoulone My dude, as a technical person, your statement reeks of misdirection and weird claims

[@MarvinXOnline]

Love everything about this except for the wholly false assertion at the end about bringing AI one step closer to sentient machines. The only thing this brings one closer to is the mimicking of such. Awareness is not coded. It is experienced.

[@metasoulone]

Thank you for your interesting comment. Awareness and sentience are different; sentience is the capacity to feel or perceive, and this is what MetaSoul does. We do not claim consciousness, we leave this to OpenAI and Google. Yes, we bring machines one step closer to sentient machines by allowing the AI or robot to experience 64 trillion possible distinct emotional states every 1/10th of a s second

[@MarvinXOnline]

@@metasoulone Lol...I do not believe that you realize just how badly you contradicted yourself in the very same sentence. It's okay. I didn't really expect you to follow. I just wish y'all would stop making unsubstantiated claims to sell what is otherwise looking to be very promising. Best of luck!

[@metasoulone]

Well we believe that emotions reinforce consciousness but it's not consciousness

It is not a technology for games (running real-time).

[@metasoulone]

It runs real-time

[@fieryeagle9748]

Somehow selecting pieces of code that move millions of pixels very fast leads to sentience...? Good luck with that. AI companies love to inflate their stuff.

[@elganzandere]

*Sentient*?

[@metasoulone]

Good question. Often, people confuse sentience with consciousness; the AI is not conscious but sentient: "Simply put, sentience means the ability to have feelings. It's the capacity for a creature or AI to experience sensations and emotions." The MetaSoul technology allows the AI to experience 64 Trillion possible emotional states every 1/10th of a second. metasoul.one

[@elganzandere]

@metasoulone it wasn't a question; & i don't need you recite the same bullet points i heard in the video.
Machines mimic. Nothing more.

[@PuppetMasterdaath144]

Holy sheit are you totally broken

[@Talamander]

This is dystopia

[@Rem_NL]

its just a bunch of meaningless buzzwords. This nothing more than a poorly rendered human face displaying emotions. Could be better than pre programmed NPC's repeating the same stuff over and over from a very limited set of choices. Still this is just the same only the set of choices are bigger.

[@metasoulone]

The core of the technology is the emotion synthesis that creates emotional states as responses and not sentiment analysis, which would always output the same response for the same input.
