TikTok is gearing up to release the Digital Avatar feature, allowing users to create avatars based on their real faces. This feature is part of TikTok’s Symphony, which was just unveiled last month and is designed to help businesses and content creators. Avatars created from this feature are being enhanced to be more realistic, including body movements, facial expressions, language, and even age. The focus is to help content creators and businesses reach a wider audience and become more recognizable. This feature also allows avatars to speak different languages.
Currently, TikTok offers users the option to create avatars in two formats. The first is Stock Avatars, created from the faces of famous people from over 30 countries worldwide. The second option is Custom Avatars, allowing users to create avatars from their own faces.
However, it seems that the response has not been very positive. According to Engadget, the movements, speech, and facial expressions of avatars don’t look natural, making them appear unsettling and strange. It is expected to take some time for TikTok to further develop the Digital Avatar feature to make it more realistic.
TLDR: TikTok is introducing the Digital Avatar feature to create avatars based on real faces, aiming to help businesses and content creators reach a wider audience. Despite initial challenges in realism, further development is expected in the future.
