DiVA simulator enables interactive digital life simulation via video models

Researchers have introduced DiVA, a novel digital life simulator designed for long-term, open-ended interactive experiences. DiVA utilizes a Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) as a router, coupled with a specialized stacked video pipeline for seamless multi-turn interactions. The system employs an Anchored Video Continuation (AVC) module to manage transitions between video segments, ensuring continuity and reducing visual degradation, which allows for complex pose changes and high-fidelity identity and coherence. AI

IMPACT This system could enable more realistic and engaging virtual environments for training, entertainment, and research.
