The use of virtual beings is not limited to the world of work: they can serve as learning companions, guides, salespeople, all in the service of an interactive narrative experience . Their humanoid appearance and their reactions to the user's actions thanks to their understanding of natural language make them more engaging than simple chatbots. Some are even influencers on social networks. The company Virbe, for example, develops custom virtual beings.
The creators of "virtual beings" hope that artificial stockholder database intelligence will allow these characters to communicate better with users and react in a more credible and relevant way to create ever more engagement .
In addition, the creation of 3D characters and motion capture are becoming more accessible. This makes it easy to create more interactive avatars and to give substance to a "digital self" like VTubers , these YouTubers who use 3D avatars to represent themselves, and who have multiplied in Japan in recent years, then throughout the world. In addition, volumetric video also makes it possible to create very realistic digital humans and to blur the line between reality and the virtual even more.
