  • Publication number: 20220254082
    Abstract: Digital events to dynamically establish avatar emotion may include particular dynamic metadata happening on live TV, Internet streamed video, live computer gameplay, movie scene, particular voice trigger from users or spectators, the dynamic position/state of an input device (such as a game controller resting on a table), etc. The system dynamically changes the state of a user avatar to various emotional and rig transformation state through this smart system. This brings in more life to the existing static chat/video chat conversation which is active, and user driven while this system is dynamically trigger-driven and autonomous in nature. The avatar world is thus rendered to ne more life-like and responsive to environmental and digital happenings of the user.
