Nation A Co., Ltd. (CEO Soo-yeon Yoo) was selected as an innovation award winner in the Artificial Intelligence, Web3 and Metaverse Technologies categories at CES 2024, which will be held in Las Vegas, USA from January 9 (Tuesday) to January 12 (Friday, local time) next year. revealed.
Nation A is a company that has developed a foundation model that can generate 3D and 4D data using generative AI technology. The self-implemented text-based 3D motion generation AI foundation model based on over 250 million pieces of motion data can generate infinite motion data that the user imagines, and anyone can create 3D content quickly and easily.
The company said, “Users can create 3D and 4D motion data in just a few seconds through text, voice, and video input, and can use AR/VR, robot motion, 3D content (games, animation, metaverse), and industrial 3D. “Data can also be produced,” he said, adding, “It is a paradigm shift that will change the way humans work and communicate beyond the constraints of time and space, and has infinite scalability.”
Nation A’s ‘Neuroid’, which was recognized for innovation at CES 2024, is a SaaS-type service that produces 3D content using generative AI models. The company explains that it used generative AI technology to solve the problem of difficulty in producing existing 3D and 4D data. Regarding this, he emphasized, “In particular, through our own unique and smart attempts to build a massive 3D dataset, we can distinguish over 250 million motion categories and produce infinite 3D and 4D data.”
In addition, “Interest in generative AI technology is increasing globally, but 3D/4D motion data and content production solutions that understand the context based on text or voice are absent,” he said. “Neuroid is developing generative AI technology.” It is a standardized tool that can be used to create AI auto-rigging and 3D/4D motion for any character or robot. “I think this is the biggest reason why we were recognized for our innovation.”
Nation A launched the global B2C SaaS type ‘Neuroid’ last October and secured more than 1 million users within one month of service. An official said, “Although we are an early-stage startup established in 2022, we are a team that has continued to conduct long-term technical research on generative AI, and we are preparing to expand our service to add various functions that fit the needs and purposes of users.” “We are also developing a service that allows you to easily create 3D content suitable for 3D devices, and through this, we hope to become a reliable partner for corporate customers who need software or 3D content production suitable for 3D devices,” he said.
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), is an exhibition that provides insight into the trends of the global home appliance industry at a glance and is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 18 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 2006, and has been selected through ‘BEST OF CES’ and ‘BEST OF MADE IN KOREA’, which select the best innovative products, companies and technologies. has been in progress. In addition, CES on-site issues are vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
The CES 2024 Seoul Unified Hall will be operated at the largest scale in terms of exhibition area, number of participating companies, and number of participating supporters since Seoul City’s first participation in CES in 2020. The Seoul Integration Center, in which 13 organizations collaborate and participate, is an important step in Seoul’s efforts to make Seoul a mecca for startups, and 17 of the companies participating in the Seoul Integration Center proved this by receiving innovation awards. The participating institutions in the Seoul Unification Center are ▲SBA ▲Seoul Bio Hub ▲Campus Town ▲AI Yangjae Hub ▲Gwanak-gu ▲Yonsei University ▲Korea University ▲Chung-Ang University ▲Sogang University ▲Kookmin University ▲Hanyang University ▲Konkuk University ▲Kyunghee University. Not only the Seoul Metropolitan Government, institutions, and companies, but also supporters through industry-academia cooperation are matched 1:1 with companies, and 85 supporters, the largest number, will participate.
