[Digital Daily Reporter Kang Min-hye] Emotionwave, an enterprise utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for music solutions, is aiming to expand into China.
On the 27th, Emotionwave announced that it signed an MOU with Irye Entertainment, a specialized management company for child models, on the 24th and is preparing to build a non-face-to-face AI coaching platform.
The two companies plan to provide educational content in five fields (acting, modeling, dance, announcer, YouTube creator) to Irye Entertainment's domestic and international students through mutual cooperation to build the non-face-to-face AI coaching platform.
Emotionwave explained that it noted Irye Entertainment's presence in China, including a branch office in Zhuhai, and active exchanges with Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Macau. Based on this, they plan to target the Chinese market.
Emotionwave provides various music-based services and platforms by integrating advanced information and communication technology (ICT) such as 5G, AIoT (Artificial Intelligence + Internet of Things), robotics, and XR (Extended Reality) into music.
In 2020, we launched 'MuLearn,' a non-face-to-face music education platform for public school teachers and students in Korea for the first time.
MuLearn is a music education system that utilizes VR (Virtual Reality) headsets, artificial intelligence robot instruments, and personal PCs to deliver two-way performances, simulating the experience of being in the same space even for people located far apart, based on Telepresence technology.
According to the company, they are also undergoing the '2021 Ministry of Science and ICT and National IT Industry Promotion Agency's Lived-in Non-face-to-face Leading Service Activation Project' to solve real-time AI studios and remote technologies as solutions.
The company explained that they have created an effective non-face-to-face music education environment through artificial intelligence robot instruments, which apply technology that plays or reproduces actual instruments, overcoming the limitations of video-based learning found in existing VR·AR (Augmented Reality)·online based non-face-to-face education systems.
Rio Jang, CEO of Emotionwave, said, "We plan to build a non-face-to-face AI education platform by combining our company's educational technology capabilities with Irye Entertainment's excellent educational system and database to vitalize the domestic edutech market, and based on this, we plan to enter the Chinese education market."
An official from Emotionwave explained, "As of now, it is only at the Memorandum of Understanding stage, so there is nothing specific that can be revealed about how the technologies applied to the platform will be implemented," adding, "We plan to prepare for AI education through methods other than simple voice exchange, going beyond a simple remote conferencing platform by combining our solution with the local infrastructure network and teaching staff of an entertainment company."
