An impressive technology provided visitors to the Republic of Serbia’s pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, the opportunity to watch and interact with a man who lived 10,000 years ago. It can recreate human faces in a very realistic way, and helps enhance body movements in a way that simulates reality.
Visitors to the pavilion had the opportunity to be among the first people in the world who were able to interact face to face with a man who lived 10,000 years ago and died on the banks of the Danube River, in its part located in Serbia, using this amazing technology.
The Creative Ambassador of the Serbian National Platform and Deputy Commissioner-General of Serbia at Expo 2020 Dubai, Dr. Sofia Stefanovic, led the team of scientists and innovators who worked on analyzing the bones of this man, and then making a realistic 3D model of him, for the first time, in cooperation with a well-known local game company using MetaHuman technology. .
The team developed a revolutionary approach in how to use data obtained by analyzing ancient human skeletal remains.
The team also used the data to create a digital biometric model of the face, so that the tech man's facial expressions matched the old man's face exactly as it did before his death.
"We used a new technique called digital antiquity, which combines a number of different methods to produce a scientific skeletal biography of the elderly," said scientist Sofia Stefanovic.
"The methods incorporate the latest protocols for bone studies, and we used this data to support physical reconstruction of the face based on the bones of the skull."
This was then followed by transferring the reconstructed face to a digital motion model to simulate facial gestures.”
She stressed that the international premiere of this global innovation coming from Serbia will change a large number of industries, expressing her pride in this technical achievement achieved by her country, which caught the attention of the public and the media.
• Visitors to the Serbia Pavilion had a chance to be among the first people in the world to interact with this face.
• The international premiere of this global innovation coming from Serbia, will change a large number of industries.
Amazing mix
Scientist Sofia Stefanovic emphasized that “this amazing combination of science and the game industry, will have an impact on many other industries such as film production, education, museology, etc., which is exactly what the Serbian National Platform stands for, aimed at promoting cooperation and innovation Creativity, talent and knowledge.
time capsule
The rooftop of the Serbia Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai was inspired by the inclined rooftops of the ancient Vinca people, to represent between its design inspired by history and the advanced experiences it presents, a time capsule for the future of humanity, focusing on digital transformation, artificial intelligence and virtual reality.
Serbia is called the Silicon Valley of the Balkans, as high-level technical talents emerged from it, and this country is considered one of the pioneers in the fields of artificial intelligence and digital economy.
