Reviving Einstein / Vives

The idea behind this AI-powered Einstein — also known as Ainstein — is that students should be able to experience AI first-hand. This set-up allows them to converse with a digital version of Einstein in multiple languages. What makes this digital twin stand out is its capability to respond to questions in real-time in Einstein’s characteristic manner. To make Einstein come to life, we combined these key technologies:

1. WhisperAI: To convert speech to text, capturing user speech in (any) natural language
2. GPT: To comprehend natural language and generate responses in Einstein’s persona
3. ElevenLabs: To convert GPT’s textual responses into audio files using Einstein’s voice clone
4. Audio2Face: To animate facial expressions and lip movements in sync with the generated audio
5. Metahuman: To create a hyperrealistic visualization of Albert Einstein, modeled in detail from online photographs, including custom hair styling
6. Unreal Engine: Renders the entire experience, providing a lifelike visual presentation

In addition to the experience, students can actually see the behind the scenes on another screen. On this screen, each step from the pipeline described above is displayed. First, they can see the speech-to-text transcription, then you see a prompt being generated for GPT, which a response is generated to, which is in turn sent to the voice cloning technology, and so on.
