Metafan Project: Pioneering Digital Human Streaming with 5G Technology

The "Metafan Project" stands as a groundbreaking initiative by our team, blending the realms of digital human technology and next-generation 5G networking. This Proof of Concept (PoC) was developed for a client with the ambitious goal of streaming a digital human from a remote location to a broadcast plate in real time.

At the heart of the project was the challenge of capturing a digital human's presence in our Bangalore office and rendering them seamlessly into a live broadcast environment. We utilized cutting-edge motion and facial capture hardware to capture intricate details and expressions in real time. This data was then streamed live over a 5G network, rendering the digital human onto a green screen background. The result was a stunningly realistic digital representation as if the individual was teleported digitally from one place to another.

The Metafan Project demonstrated the capabilities of 5G technology in high-fidelity streaming and showcased our ability to integrate multiple hardware and software units to create a cohesive digital twin. This twin performed remarkably in the studio and the broadcast environment, blurring the lines between virtual and physical presence.

One of the most significant achievements of the Metafan Project is its potential to revolutionize broadcast settings. With this technology, individuals from across the globe can be virtually present in sports events or other broadcasts, regardless of their physical location. This project marks a substantial leap forward in digital streaming technology, offering new possibilities for remote participation in global events.

The Metafan Project is a testament to our commitment to innovation and ability to harness emerging technologies to create groundbreaking solutions. It represents a significant milestone in digital human technology and sets a new standard for the future of live broadcasting.
