About EmbodyMe

EmbodyMe is a Tokyo-based tech startup that specializes in AI-enabled virtual communication solutions. They have developed an innovative technology that allows users to create lifelike avatars using only a single photograph. These avatars can be used for various purposes, including appearing in online meetings or streaming on platforms like Twitch as favorite game characters.

This technology aims to replace traditional video conferencing by providing a more personalized and immersive experience.
