SEOUL, June 13 (Yonhap) -- Krafton released a teaser image of a virtual human ‘Ana’ created by Unreal Engine’s 3D-based hyper-realism technology on Monday.

Ana, the first virtual human of Krafton after the company announced its plans to adopt this technology in various aspects of its business, is expressed realistically with soft baby hairs. 

The face rigging technology will depict the movement of the pupil, colorful facial expressions, and wrinkles, and capture natural joint movement.

With the voice synthesis, Ana will be able to sing and act like a regular person.

Krafton's creative director Shin Seok-jin said, “After the release of an original song, Ana will expand her activities as an influencer in the entertainment and esports field.”
