The South Korean title publisher said that ANA could help it establish a Web 3.0 ecosystem, thanks to its advanced features that can attract more audiences.
"ANA is a hyper-realistic virtual human created by KRAFTON's unparalleled technology. We expect her to attract the interest and popularity of Gen Z around the world," said Krafton's Head of the Creative Center, Josh Seokjin, via the company's official press release.
Krafton's ANA Arrives!
According to IGN's latest report, ANA is a hyperrealistic virtual human tech that relies on deep learning. Krafton was able to integrate nuanced movements into ANA.
The virtual human's actions are quite advanced, making them almost like the ones made by real people. Another interesting thing about ANA is that it is Krafton's first artificial human tech.
When it comes to appearance, ANA looks just like a real human being, with fine facial muscles, wrinkles, etc. Because of this, experts claimed that Krafton was able to blur the lines of realism between virtual characters and real individuals.
So this is Ana(❤️). She's going to be the poster child for Krafton's blockbuster multiplayer @PUBGMOBILE

In 'reality', this is an attempt to bolster the company's #Web3 ambitions and build its community. The #Metaverse is really starting to look good 😉 pic.twitter.com/WMSKnCjYi9
The new virtual human tech is a part of Krafton's efforts to revolutionize digital characters. The game developer already hinted at this plan in February.
Now, the South Korean title creator said that it would release more images, videos, as well as ANA's own unique story arc before 2022 ends.
How ANA Can Establish Krafton's Web 3 Ecosystem
Krafton explained that ANA would not actually be used to create the company's Web 3.0 ecosystem. Instead, it will ensure that more and more audiences will be attracted to the game developer's upcoming web platform.
The new virtual human is expected to use its hyperrealistic appearance to create more online engagements from users. Based on this detail, ANA will somehow act like an online influencer.
Krafton even said that she would have her own original music track. Aside from this, the game developer will also expand her scope of activity as an artificial online influencer.
ANA is just one of the artificial intelligence unveiled this 2022.
In June, a new human race-identifying AI was created, having 90% accuracy.
In May, experts claimed that a new artificial intelligence light system could solve traffic congestion.
