With inspiration drawn from the growing demand for digital humans in various sectors, Baidu AI Cloud recognized the limitations of the current high-cost and long-cycle model of digital human creation. The team developed Xiling to provide enterprises with a low-cost, short-cycle solution that would enhance their use of digital humans.
What sets Xiling apart is its function as a production and operation platform that connects enterprises and consumers. By deconstructing the elements of digital human service scenarios, the platform integrates experience design and AI technology, enabling the creation, live streaming, and video generation of digital humans. This process is not only efficient and cost-effective but also enhances the consumer experience of digital human products.
The platform's realization technology allows users to generate ultra-realistic digital humans using photos, keywords, and parameter adjustments. Users can conduct live streaming activities using AI-driven or human-driven methods and generate videos directly by inputting digital human-related commands into a non-linear editor. This technology facilitates the quick deployment of digital humans, making it a game-changer in the industry.
Despite the challenges in ensuring efficiency and user-friendliness in content production while satisfying consumer demands, the Xiling team succeeded by breaking down the digital human service scenario into atomic levels. They defined experience standards and embedded AI capabilities at each level, ensuring a high-quality digital human experience in core elements such as humans, activities, and scenes.
The platform's design principles guide the experience and aesthetic standards for the development of each layer of production elements, ensuring high-quality experience on all levels. The platform's success is evident in its recognition, having been awarded Silver in A' Interface, Interaction, and User Experience Design Award in 2023.
In conclusion, Baidu AI Cloud's Xiling platform is a testament to the power of AI in revolutionizing industries. By providing a more efficient, cost-effective solution for digital human creation, Xiling is not just a platform but a step towards a more digitally integrated future.
