(1) Challenges in Virtual Character Development
Despite the rapid advancements in AI, the development of high-quality interactive virtual characters still faces significant challenges, including:
Complexity: Developing lifelike virtual characters requires deep technical expertise, advanced AI models, and significant resources.
Cost: Existing solutions, such as Unreal Engine's MetaHuman, demand substantial financial investment and computational resources, making them inaccessible for many creators.
Integration: Embedding high-fidelity virtual characters into applications presents technical challenges and often results in high server costs due to processing demands.
Monetization: Establishing fair and transparent revenue-sharing mechanisms among creators, developers, and stakeholders remains an ongoing concern.
IP Rights and Ownership: As generative AI solutions become more prevalent, ensuring clear, verifiable ownership of virtual character IPs is increasingly difficult. Creators often struggle to assert their rights, track asset usage, and prevent unauthorized distribution.
Sustainability: Without a structured ecosystem for IP protection and revenue sharing, creators may struggle to maintain long-term engagement, potentially leading to a fragmented and unstable marketplace.
(2) Blockchain and Token Utility Gaps
While blockchain technology offers promising solutions for digital ownership, current implementations face several limitations, such as:
High Transaction Fees: Ethereum-based platforms often suffer from prohibitive gas fees, creating barriers to adoption and frequent interactions.
Scalability: The limited throughput of existing blockchain networks affects the performance and responsiveness of decentralized applications (DApps), hampering user experience.
Interoperability: The lack of seamless cross-chain functionality makes it challenging to manage virtual human assets across different ecosystems, limiting the utility and reach of digital assets.
Transparent Reward Distribution: Automated and trustless distribution of rewards remains complex, hindering the potential for creators to receive fair compensation in an efficient and transparent manner.
