On June 21, 2024, Xiaoice Company and ShiMeta, a leading AIoT enterprise, announced a strategic partnership to launch the ShiMeta digital human solution. This collaboration combines various forms of digital human intelligent interactive large-screen terminals, integrating Xiaoice’s AI large models and digital human technology with V-Smart’s extensive hardware business ecosystem. This integration brings digital humans into various industry scenarios, injecting new productivity, enhancing user experience, and increasing service efficiency, leading to more intelligent transformations.
Xiaoice × ShiMeta: A Rich Hardware Business Ecosystem
The solution deeply integrates Xiaoice’s large models and advanced digital human technologies such as neural network rendering and super natural voice with ShiMeta’s high-performance motherboards, high-definition cameras, microphone arrays, and device management platforms. This achieves “out-of-the-box” functionality for large-screen terminals, with real-time dynamic updates to the backend large models, enabling the digital human to continuously learn and improve service capabilities. The general and vertical large models support intent recognition, semantic understanding, logical reasoning, and content generation, combined with industry-specific knowledge bases. They provide customized large model training and local knowledge base construction for vertical industries and specific scenarios, equipping digital humans with professional capabilities in different fields to handle complex situations with ease.
Large Models + Industry-Specific Knowledge Bases
In practical applications, intelligent interactive large screens display enterprise-customized digital human IP images generated by the Xiaoice framework, creating vivid and realistic interactions that resonate with users and deepen brand impressions. When users enter the interaction area, the digital human uses facial recognition to actively enter service mode, initiating inquiries and engaging in natural, smooth communication to offer intelligent, personalized services. Notably, in the ShiMeta digital human solution, the digital human is driven by localized rendering on terminal devices, eliminating reliance on network connections, significantly reducing computing costs and ensuring efficient and stable product operation. This achieves high reliability, cost-effectiveness, and low latency, resulting in smoother interaction experiences and more flexible deployment. Additionally, the solution offers various customization options for enterprises, including AI digital human all-in-one machines, box+MIC+screen setups, and smart screen upgrades.
With the introduction of the new solution, digital humans will be widely applied in various industry scenarios such as corporate offices, government services, cultural tourism, and education and training. They will undertake roles like customer service, administrative reception, government consultation, tour guide hosting, exhibition reception, education and training, and product experience officer, achieving automated and intelligent services with highly realistic voice and interaction styles, making brand presentations more vivid and engaging.
Empowering Enterprise Business Scenarios
Shenzhen ShiMeta Technology Co., Ltd., as a provider of AIoT infrastructure products and intelligent digital solutions, offers core AIoT product components, motherboards, box hosts, edge computing boxes, HMI modules, smart terminals, operating systems, application software, AI algorithms, industry large models, and MaaS cloud platforms to AIoT equipment manufacturers, industry software companies, integrators, operators, service providers, government departments, and institutions.
