CTRL Human is the fastest, easiest, and most affordable way to connect realistic Metahuman avatars to AI.
CTRL Human enhances traditional natural language services with interactive Metahuman avatars capable of dynamic two-way conversation, realistic body gestures, and emotions..
We take care of all the technical headaches of character development, and let you get to work on what matters most — design, storytelling, and narrative.
OVERVIEW
Built in Unreal Engine 5 (a state of the art open source game engine), CTRL Human provides photo-real 3D avatars that can be easily customized and connected to conversational AI services from Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon.
Your digital human serves as the frontend user interface for modern conversational AI and chatbot technologies. Digital Humans allow you to personalize and humanize AI-powered services while scaling your online presence up and down to meet customer demand.
CTRL Human Avatars are designed to consistently deliver information professionally and accurately, ensuring your brand is always on message and well represented.
METAHUMAN AVATARS
Built around the amazing Metahuman standard from Epic Games, CTRL Human offers an endless amount of possibilities for crafting your digital human’s likeness. Virtually every aspect of your character can be customized, from broad modifications such as age, gender, ethnicity, and body size, down to very fine details such as skin complexion, eye shape, makeup, freckles and much more. Each digital human is standardized resulting in consistent, reliable functionality and the highest graphical fidelity.
CHATBOTS
CTRL Human harnesses the power of modern 3rd party chatbots and generative AI platforms to provide the narrative dialog that a Metahuman avatar will speak. Chatbots not only serve as the conversational logic layer that makes an avatar intelligent, but they can also pass along additional metadata and commands such as events to the avatar during run-time.
TEXT TO SPEECH
CTRL Human seamlessly connects to your preferred Text-to-Speech (TTS) service and provides high quality synthesized voices for your Metahuman avatar. CTRL Human automatically creates language agnostic lip synchronization that works across many different speaking styles and supports varying emotions.
CTRL HUMAN SDK
The CTRL Human SDK is the central hub for directing your digital human experience. Written in Javascript, the SDK provides full functionality over your Metahuman avatar and the many features of the CTRL Human 3D application. The easy to use SDK is fully documented and the main features are described below.
WEB CLIENT FRONT-END
CTRL Human’s UI is fully based in HTML and layered on top of the digital human video stream. We provide simple examples which provide an overview of all the CTRL Human systems working together. These can be fully customized or even replaced if you desire. The CTRL Human SDK is used by the front-end web client to control the avatar application.

FEATURES
-
CTRL Human Digital Humans are complete, full figure characters which can be viewed from head to toe. Anotomically accurate and highly customizable, there are no limitation to how your digital human can exmpress themselves.
-
Much of CTRL Human’s power comes from its ability to simulate realistic character performance using text and audio inputs. Lifelike character animation is procedurally generated meaning no coding or artistic work is required. This all happens in real-time and your character’s perfomance can be controlled down to the syllable using our SDK.
Each character can gestures, idle, point, and weight shift. The end result is a very convincing representation of a life sized digital human interacting with you.
-
CTRL Human supports a wide array of Text-to-Speech (TTS) services from providers like Google Cloud, IBM Watson, Amazon Polly, and Microsoft Azure. Simply connect your TTS cloud account key or API key depending on the service, and your digital human will come to life!
-
As natural language voice models continue to improve, so does CTRL Human. We are constantly updating your digital human with the most cutting edge NLP services. Choose from hundreds of supported voice and languages which can even be changed in real-time!
-
Use Simple Speech Markup Language (SSML) to fine tune the TTS voice properties associated with your character. Send trigger-specific actions when a certain word is spoken by the avatar. This 'per-word timing' allows for precise control over gestures and emotional state changes.
-
Need the right look for your character? CTRL Human’s customization options can alter your character’s look quickly and easily. Our modular approach allows for customization of hairstyles, hair colors, clothing styles, clothing colors, eye colors, jewelry, name badges, and lots more.
-
So much information and nuance is exchanged through our facial expressions. To mimic this, your digital human’s emotional state can change at any time and affect how it communicates. Emotion changes can be handled via text provided by the chatbot, or by the user interface via SDK commands.
-
From waving hello to gesturing towards objects in the 3D world or on the screen, a full range of avatar gestures are available and can be triggered at any time. These blend seamlessly into the avatar’s natural body movements.
-
Looking for that cinematic touch? CTRL Human’s camera system intelligently controls your shot. Cameras follow your digital human and can move, rotate and fade in and out to create a film-like viewing experience
-
Push your visuals even further with CTRL Human by incorporating image effects like depth of field, vignette, and post processing. These subtle attributes can help blur the line between real and digital.
-
Choosing a setting for your digital human adds valuable context for your use case. A doctors office for your health screening application, or a bank’s lobby for your digital human financial advisor. Choose from a set of supplied 2D backgrounds, set your own custom image texture or choose a solid color using a hex value. Photo-real 3D environments are also available to explore.
