Virtual digital human is a comprehensive product existing in the non physical world, created and used by computer means such as computer graphics, graphics rendering, motion capture, deep learning and speech synthesis, and has multiple human characteristics (appearance characteristics, human performance ability, human interaction ability, etc.). With the development of AR / VR / XR and other virtual reality technologies, virtual human may get rid of the limitation of virtual image and map to the physical world. The highly anthropomorphic characteristics of virtual human make it different from the general virtual role, so it can undertake more social functions.
Citic Securities Company Limited(600030) indicates that from the perspective of application, virtual people can be divided into two categories: personality virtual people shaping human design and image, highlighting personality charm and practical virtual people highlighting practical value, which are subdivided into content type, image type, and functional type and virtual avatar. The technical barriers of personality virtual human are relatively limited, mainly focusing on IP and operation capability: 1. For content-based virtual human, the core lies in the value and derivative ability of IP behind it; 2。 For image-based virtual people, to stand out from many virtual people requires excellent human creation and operation ability. The practical virtual human will become the key infrastructure of the meta universe. The core lies in the technical ability, and has high requirements for the technical level of modeling, driving, rendering, artificial intelligence and so on. Business model and future prospect of virtual human: we believe that virtual human has the advantages of long life cycle, controllable behavior, multi-threaded and lasting work, strong thinking and computing ability and good plasticity. After the technology is mature, the business prospect is very broad.

Is it an opportunity to “get on the bus” for today’s sharp callback in the concept plate of virtual digital human? Liu Youhua said, “As for the ‘boarding’ opportunity of the virtual digital human track, it depends on whether it is a ‘long-distance bus’ or a’ short-distance bus’: In the short term, the pursuit of funds has accumulated a large increase, overdrawing the future growth of the industry to a certain extent. However, if the cycle is prolonged, considering the growth space of the virtual digital human industry market, the virtual digital human industry is a track with investment value. ”
Yang Delong, chief economist of Qianhai open source fund, told reporters, “Virtual digital human belongs to an emerging industry. It shows some scenes through the technology of virtual realization. This technology will be widely used in the future, especially in the field of games. At present, commercialization may take time, and now it is more a concept speculation. Virtual digital human is a new track in the A-share market, so it has made outstanding performance recently and has not been widely used To develop those with a large space. the virtual digital human sector still needs to study the fundamentals in the future, and the leading enterprises with performance support can focus on it. ” Yang Delong reminded investors that the recent increase in the sector has been too large, so it is not suitable to hold heavy positions and catch up excessively.

In terms of the functions of virtual human in identifying the external environment and communicating and interacting with people, building the application industrial chain ecology of virtual human in social activities, military industry, industry and medical treatment will also become the landing of the meta universe track in the future , the landing of each application layer in its industrial chain is expected to cause fluctuations in the virtual digital human track. Therefore, we suggest that each technical step back is a good opportunity for the leading enterprises benefiting from artificial intelligence, intelligent voice, virtual platform and professional audio solutions in relevant subdivided industries. ”
