CEO and founder, Behrooz Rezvani, Ph.D, has launched Seyyer Inc. and now developers can create video avatar content based on real people. It’s like controlling any filmed public figure or video of a celebrity and via text control what they say. Rezvani is a repeat entrepreneur who also founded Ikanos Communications in 1999 to a successful IPO in 2005 and co-founded Quantenna Communications in 2006. Seyyer is an angel-backed company with a platform that applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to make computer-generated modifications to original video footage of a person’s facial expressions, gestures and speech, resulting in a hyper-realistic, customizable and extensible avatar with authentic detail to be extremely convincing to the viewer. It can be used for educational textbook to video, replacing subtitles in films, interactive advertising, news distribution, etc.
