Introduction
Hollywood actor Calum Worthy and producer Russell Geyser debuted the HoloAvatars app, enabling users to create lifelike digital twins—”HoloAvatars”—capable of conversing in over 40 languages.
Background
Growing deepfake threats have spurred demand for proactive digital identity management. 2wai joins others enabling controlled AI likenesses for public figures and executives.
Product Overview
Users upload a short video; the HoloAvatars app generates a conversational avatar that replicates speech, tone, and expression. The focus is on user-controlled, ethical digital identity.
Use Cases
Celebrities can maintain media presence; executives can handle routine Q&A; educators can create avatars for outreach. The tool supports 40+ languages, broadening its global appeal.
Reactions & Concerns
Experts caution about authenticity illusions: While user-controlled, avatars may seem “too real.” Worthy reassures users retain full control over what their avatars share.
Industry Context
This trend follows deeper investments in decentralization of identity. The HoloAvatars app reflects a shift: instead of fighting AI likeness misuse, startups empower users to own their digital doubles.
Future Development
2wai plans to refine voice modulation, emotional expression, and develop enterprise versions for brands and educators. Licensing features will let users monetize their avatars.
Conclusion & Call to Action
With the HoloAvatars app, 2wai stakes a claim in the digital identity space. Users, public figures, and businesses should explore controlled avatars to shape their online presence safely.
