Currently, Emotionwave is developing and advancing technology so that digital humans can be animated using only mobile phones and web cameras without a motion capture suit. Based on this digital human live broadcast technology, they announced that they will launch the 'MUTA STUDIO' app for metaverse broadcasting creators at the end of this year.
MUTA STUDIO is an application that runs on the PC Windows operating system, developed with recommended specifications requiring a graphics environment of NVIDIA RTX3060ti or higher. It plans to provide users with high-quality metaverse broadcasting and performance by offering ultra-realistic digital human NFTs and a metaverse studio environment within the metaverse.
Park Ji-hyun, head of Emotionwave, said, "Many people have needs for virtual broadcasting, but they are hesitant to start due to the need to purchase expensive equipment and the difficulty of setting up a metaverse broadcasting environment." She added, "We hope that through the MUTA STUDIO app, more people can freely express their talents."
Meanwhile, the 2022 Gwangju ACE Fair is a comprehensive content exhibition where everything from AI, metaverse VR/AR games to broadcasting, animation/character content licensing can be seen in one place. It was hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Gwangju Metropolitan City, and organized by Kim Dae-jung Convention Center, Gwangju Information Culture Industry Promotion Agency, Gwangju Design Promotion Agency, Korea Cable TV Broadcasting Association, and Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA). In addition to 'WAF (Web Animation Festival)' held by the Gwangju Information Culture Industry Promotion Agency, there will be various side events throughout the exhibition period, including an illustration rookie artist discovery exhibition with NCSoft, a board game competition & experience zone, a cosplay festival, the 15th Youth Broadcasting Content Competition, and animation screenings.
