In this workshop, we introduce one of the most engaging features of the Amazon Sumerian service: Sumerian Hosts. Hosts are animated, interactive, digital avatars that can be integrated into your 3D and augmented reality applications. We currently have four Hosts available: Cristine, Preston, Grace and Luke. In this workshop, we walk through the capabilities of the Hosts and show you how to create custom speeches. After this workshop, participants will be able to start creating dynamic scenes that include Hosts.
