Have you encountered these challenges on your journey to create virtual humans?

Project Lead

Digital human production is costly and time-consuming. Is there a solution that balances high precision, low cost, and rapid deployment?

The Digital Human (to be created)

We want the digital human to be flawless and physically accurate, with movements that are especially natural and fluid. Even a simple "heart gesture" during a live stream interaction must be executed perfectly.

Virtual Content Producer

We want to produce virtual idol broadcasts with multiple characters on screen, but when the number of characters increases, their movements are prone to occlusion, data loss, or even model clipping. How can we ensure a smooth interactive experience?

These aren't just production pains; they are the key to whether a digital human can evolve from merely "functional" to truly "lifelike." Based on its "End-to-End Virtual Human Solution," CHINGMU provides a clear path for the industry, covering hardware, software, and technical services.

Pain Point 1: Limited Budget? How to Start Virtual Human Creation Quickly.

Digital human production involves modeling, rigging, motion capture driving, and more, making cost and timeline control difficult.

• Modeling precision directly dictates cost – ranging from hundreds of RMB for an anime-style character to hundreds of thousands for a hyper-realistic one, depending on details like hair, skin, materials, and clothing.

• High technical barriers: Traditional mocap requires expensive hardware and expertise in real-time rendering.

Solution: Prometheus – The Affordable Motion Capture Answer

CHINGMU's Prometheus system breaks down cost and technical barriers with a disruptive "complete kit for tens of thousands of RMB" price point.

• Compact & Efficient: Ideal for 3x3m to 5x5m spaces with a 83°x73° FOV.

• High Precision: ±0.15mm 3D accuracy, 110fps capture.

• Seamless Integration: Works with Unity, UE5, Blender.

Pain Point 2: Stiff Poses, Lack of Detail? How to Achieve Fluid, Realistic Movement.

Overall posture fluidity and coordination are crucial for performance appeal. Traditional optical mocap can struggle with fast turns or occlusions, leading to data loss, jitter, and broken immersion.

Solution: High-Precision Motion Capture for Natural Performance

CHINGMU's high-accuracy, low-latency optical cameras and proprietary CMAvatar system capture subtle movements.

• Millimeter-Level Precision: Intelligent anti-occlusion algorithms ensure accurate data, enabling 1:1 replication of complex actions.

• Natural Detail: Captures nuanced gestures and postures, conveying personality.

Case Study: Kuaishou's Virtual Streamer "Hu Lili"

During a 2023 CCTV New Year special, Hu Lili interacted naturally with real hosts using CHINGMU's Prometheus system and CMAvatar software, demonstrating flawless, real-time movement and object interaction.

Pain Point 3: Frequent Occlusion in Multi-Actor Scenes? How to Ensure Smooth Virtual Events.

In large-scale scenes like virtual concerts, multiple actors can cause frequent occlusion, leading to data loss, inaccurate positioning, and model clipping, ruining realism.

Solution: High-Precision Mocap for Flawless Multi-Actor Interaction

CHINGMU's MC Series optical cameras are built for complex scenarios.

• High Performance: Feature high-precision, low latency, long range, and high robustness.

• Superior Occlusion Handling: Powerful FPGA and DDR3 chips maintain stable data flow even with complex actor interplay.

• Large-Scale Support: Covers spaces up to thousands of square meters, enabling seamless multi-character interaction.

Case Study: Dreamaker's 10-Member Virtual Idol Event "Since You're Here"

This groundbreaking live event used MC Series cameras with 4-12mm zoom lenses and CMAvatar's anti-occlusion tech. It successfully tracked all ten actors simultaneously with no data loss, latency, or clipping.

CHINGMU: End-to-End Empowerment, Professional Service Assurance
