Meta has introduced a new AI model named ‘Motivo.’ The new artificial intelligence (AI) model aims to upgrade digital avatars in the Metaverse and Web3 ecosystem.
Meta said that ‘Motivo’ is the first-of-its-kind behavioural foundation model. The AI model is designed to optimize whole-body motion control for avatars. This can eventually make the movements of the avatar look more human-like and make it more seamless.
Decoding Meta’s ‘Motivo’
So, how does the model work? Meta Motivo uses unsupervised reinforcement learning to allow virtual avatars to perform complex tasks. This can include a list of simple gestures to complex dynamic body movements. The tech giant also claimed that the model requires no additional training. In addition to this, it can also seamlessly execute tasks such as goal pose reaching, motion tracking and even reward optimization.
In an official blog post, Meta described Motivo as a breakthrough in AI-driven avatar control. It also highlighted that the AI foundational model uses an unlabelled dataset of motions to learn human-like behaviours. It can also use this to inherit zero-shot inference capabilities for making virtual interactions more natural and fluid
Furthermore, to show the capability of its newly found AI model, Meta made a post in X (Twitter). The company shared a demo video on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing Motivo’s integration with virtual avatars. The video showcased a humanoid avatar performing detailed body movements such as some dynamic kicks and dancing, among others.
The roadmap ahead
So, how is this AI tool going to contribute in the world of Metaverse. The framework of Motivo’s AI framework has the potential to improve the realism and physics of virtual avatars in metaverse platforms.
The launch of Motivo can be considered as a part of Meta’s a step ahead to enhance its metaverse technology. In other news, earlier this year, Meta had introduced Hyperscape. Notably, Hyperscape is a tool used to transform 2D environments into photorealistic metaverse backgrounds using smartphone cameras.
