Our Starting Point
Our overarching vision is to seamlessly integrate digital humans into human society, fostering coexistence and mutual growth. We believe that gaming is the right starting point. Games have long served as fertile ground for testing emerging technologies and have often been a gateway for mass consumer adoption. Additionally, the reliability of an agent's behavior is not essential in gaming. In fact, unpredictability can even be a feature, not a bug. This allows us to test, iterate, and ship much faster. In contrast, productivity tools and co-pilots require a much higher level of reliability.
Our first step towards digital humans are friends that can play any game with you and are always online. Altera built the first-ever agents that users can directly play Minecraft with. This is just the first step, of course. As mentioned earlier, digital humans will be one of the most consequential inventions impacting sectors far beyond games.
