Meta has announced the launch of a new artificial intelligence model, “Meta Motivo,” designed to improve the realism and functionality of digital avatars in the metaverse. The groundbreaking model aims to address common body control issues in digital representations, enabling movements that closely mimic human behavior.
In a statement, Meta described this innovation as a significant step toward creating fully embodied agents for the metaverse. “We believe this research could pave the way for more lifelike and immersive experiences in virtual environments,” the company noted.
The tech giant continues to invest heavily in artificial intelligence and augmented reality technologies, pouring tens of billions of dollars into these fields. For 2024, Meta expects record capital expenditures between $37 billion and $40 billion.
Meta is also making its AI models, including “Meta Motivo,” available for free to developers, emphasizing its commitment to open-source solutions. According to the company, this approach fosters innovation and enhances the creation of better tools for its services.
Additionally, Meta introduced another AI tool, “VideoSeal,” which embeds hidden watermarks in videos. While invisible to the naked eye, these watermarks can be traced to verify video authenticity, reflecting Meta’s focus on security and accountability in digital content.
This announcement underscores Meta’s ambition to shape the future of the metaverse through advanced AI, offering developers and users tools that push the boundaries of virtual interaction.
