At the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in Shanghai recently, Vimi, a large-scale controllable character video generation model developed by SenseTime, attracted widespread attention. As the first technology product of its kind targeting consumer (C-end) users, Vimi stood out at the conference exhibition with its unique innovative capabilities and practical application potential, becoming one of the highlights. Leveraging SenseTime's cutting-edge R&D model system, Vimi achieves natural transformation from static photos to dynamic videos through deep learning and generative AI technology. Compared to traditional products, Vimi has made significant breakthroughs in precise control of facial expressions and body movements. With just one photo of any style, users can generate videos highly consistent with the target actions using Vimi. It also supports various driving modes, including existing character videos, animations, sounds, and texts, greatly enriching the possibilities of video creation. It is worth noting that during the video generation process, Vimi can automatically match and generate hair, clothing, and background changes that are consistent with the characters while maintaining harmonious and unified lighting and shadow effects, resulting in smooth and natural videos with beautiful visual effects. In addition, Vimi has strong stability and can generate single-shot character videos lasting up to one minute, meeting the needs of long-term video generation for entertainment and interaction. The launch of Vimi not only addresses the shortcomings of similar products in terms of expression control, stability, and video duration in the current market but also further reduces the threshold for video creation, making it more accessible to the needs of the general consumers. Especially for female users, Vimi provides rich entertainment creation functions such as chatting, singing, dancing, and diverse expression pack creation, satisfying users' pursuit of personalized and fun video content. With the rise of short video and live streaming platforms, the demand for character-based video content has grown rapidly. The emergence of Vimi provides efficient and convenient creative tools for video creators, helping to improve content production efficiency and quality. At the same time, the open use of Vimi also means that ordinary consumers can easily participate in video creation, enjoying the fun and convenience brought by technology. Currently, Vimi is available for pre-order on SenseTime's official website, and more technical details and application scenarios will be gradually revealed in subsequent activities. The advent of this innovative technology undoubtedly opens up a new chapter for the application of artificial intelligence in the field of video creation.
