Mofa Launches World's First 3D Digital Human Open Platform

Mofa Technology Pioneers Embodied AI with Star Cloud Platform

On May 30th, Mofa Technology made a significant leap in artificial intelligence by launching "Mofa Star Cloud," the world's first open platform enabling developers to create fully expressive 3D digital humans. This innovation moves AI interactions beyond text-based exchanges into the realm of embodied communication.

How It Works: From Text to Lifelike Animation

The platform's core is a 3D multimodal real-time generation engine that transforms text input into synchronized outputs:

  • Speech generation
  • Micro-expressions
  • Full-body movements

Image

The system achieves remarkable performance metrics:

  • 30+ fps refresh rate
  • <100ms latency
  • Compatibility with mobile devices, tablets, car systems, and TVs

CTO Li Yu explains their breakthrough "cloud-end split architecture" separates computationally intensive modeling from lightweight rendering. Terminals receive compressed action bitstreams requiring just 1/10th the bandwidth of conventional video streams.

Real-World Applications Beyond Demos

The platform has already moved past prototype stage with several implementations:

  1. Smart Hotel Concierge: Shanghai Center integrated Star Cloud into front desk tablets for real-time guest services
  2. Accessibility Solutions: A provincial government hall created sign language avatars for hearing-impaired visitors
  3. HR Tech Innovation: Partnering with HR SaaS providers to develop AI interviewers that replicate human interaction rhythms

Business Model and Adoption

The company offers tiered pricing:

  • Free access to basic models
  • Usage-based fees for advanced emotion controls and industry-specific knowledge packages
  • Enterprise private deployment options

The launch attracted over 2,000 developer applications, spanning education, healthcare, retail, and IoT sectors.

Future Roadmap

CEO Chai Jinxiang outlined upcoming initiatives:

  • Open-sourcing select motion-driven interfaces
  • Launching "Star Cloud Ready" certification with chip manufacturers
  • Targeting deployment on 1 billion mid-range devices within one year

The goal? To make embodied intelligence a default interaction method rather than a high-end showcase.

Key Points:

  • First open platform enabling realistic 3D digital humans
  • Cloud-end architecture enables local processing on affordable hardware
  • Already deployed in customer service, accessibility, and HR applications
  • Tiered pricing model accommodates diverse developer needs
  • Plans for massive scaling through chip partnerships
