Unlike many [virtual assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-virtual-assistant) that only exist as voices, an Omniverse Avatar gives the next generation of assistants friendly faces and full bodies too. The interactive characters with ray-traced 3D graphics are said to be able to "see, speak, converse on a wide range of subjects, and understand naturally spoken intent." The [customizable avatars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aivatar) are useful for helping with everything from customer service interactions to making appointments and carrying out banking transactions. These avatars are touted as some of the complex real-time applications ever created and they represent the future of hybrid work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Customizable AI Avatars:** Nvidia's Omniverse Avatar shows potential in the development of realistic and helpful assistants in various industries. - **Virtual Collaboration Platforms:** Omniverse is leading the way in the development of virtual platforms that facilitate remote teamwork and enhance creative workflows. - **Advanced Customer Service Interactions:** Customizable avatars could improve customer support services and lead to more personalized interactions with clients. ### Who This Affects Most - **Technology:** The development of AI avatars and virtual collaboration platforms have the potential to revolutionize the technology sector and enhance technological advancements. - **Customer Service:** Customizable AI assistants can significantly improve customer service experiences and interactions for various industries, including retail, banking, and more. - **Design and Architecture:** The Omniverse Avatar could become a valuable tool for architects and designers, facilitating easier collaboration on 3D projects and presenting ideas in a more interactive manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyper-Realistic Virtual Avatars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omniverse-avatar-cloud-engine.md) - [Expressive AI-Fuelled Digital Avatars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expressive-avatars.md) - [Virtual AI Streaming Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inworld-ai-1.md) - [AI-Powered 3D Avatars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avatai.md) - [AI-Driven Virtual Avatars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensorium-galaxy.md) - [AI-Powered Avatar Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avasynth-studio.md) - [Virtual Human Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prompt-3d.md) - [Conversational NPC Game Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avatar-cloud-engine.md) - [On-Site Avatar Workers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepbrain-ai-1.md)
