Japan gets its first male virtual influencer Liam Nikuro

TOKYO
1sec Inc, a company focuses on fabricating projects in virtual and reality space, has developed Japan’s first male virtual influencer, “Liam Nikuro.”
Liam Liam is powered by computer processing, 3D CG technology that are used to project virtual three-dimensional objects onto flat surfaces, creating images with a sense of depth. The use of this technology is becoming increasingly common in media such as live-action and animated films as well as video games.

Liam is a virtual character who was created by superimposing an all-CG head made with the use of 3D tools on a body filmed in live action. He is set to work in the fields of music, fashion, and entertainment, where he will be involved in the production of a wide range of content as a multimedia producer. He will also be at the center of efforts aimed at producing innovative creative content in combination with AI (artificial intelligence) technology.

"Liam may be virtual, but we are aiming to create content that is just as fascinating and cool as what his real counterparts have to offer, and to entertain people all over the planet.” said Genie, producer of the Liam Nikuro project. “We are working on a variety of projects that we intend to bring to the world in the near future."
