8. Roadmap

Phase 1. Foundation (Q2 2025)

Establish core functionalities

Server-Side Development

• Implementation of speech-to-text (STT) processing to recognize and analyze user voices.

• Integration of large language models (LLMs) for natural language processing and response generation.

• Text-to-speech (TTS) conversion for generating natural and expressive voice outputs.

• Facial animation synthesis from voice input via the Voice-to-Face (V2F) module.

Client-Side Development

• On-device real-time rendering of facial animations for efficient performance.

• Full support for WebGL environments to ensure broad platform compatibility and accessibility.

Phase 2. Interactive Virtual Human Demo Launch (Q3 2025)

• Deployment of a web-based interactive virtual human service, demonstrating real-time conversations and facial expressions in various scenarios.

• Deployment of on-chain smart contracts to facilitate API usage and transaction tracking.

Phase 3. Virtual Human Creation Tools (Q4 2025)

Development of comprehensive tools to enable users to create customized virtual human characters with various input options, including:

• Custom Face Generation:

  1. Single image input.

  2. Multi-view images capturing neutral expressions.

  3. Video sequences capturing diverse facial expressions.

  4. Text-based prompts for generative AI models (e.g., Stable Diffusion).

• Custom Voice Generation:

  1. Creation of personalized synthetic voices based on user-provided samples.

• Persona Definition:

  1. Fine-tuning of conversational style, personality traits, and behavioral responses to align with specific use cases.

Phase 4. NFT Integration for Virtual Human Asset Management (Q1 2026)

• Implementation of a secure off-chain storage system for large virtual human asset data, ensuring efficient data handling and access control.

• Development of an NFT-based credential protocol to grant verified ownership and access rights to virtual human assets.

• Deployment of on-chain reward contracts to distribute incentives to NFT holders based on their asset utilization and performance.

Phase 5. Official Service Launch (Q2 2026)

Introduction of the fully functional AVIAH.ai ecosystem, featuring:

• Virtual Human Creation Service: A comprehensive end-to-end service for creating and customizing AI-driven virtual humans.
