Horieroid is an AI and image-generated virtual human modeled off Takafumi Horie, the founder of Interstellar Technologies and HIU, initially created so Horie could freely engage in the activities he enjoys without worrying about his tedious everyday tasks. Moving forward, there will be more focus on deep learning for speech so that tasks like lectures, product PR, fan interactions, etc. could all be delegated to Horieroid. The plan is to carry out said activities as a symbol of the age in which humans, AI, and virtual humans coexist. In the future, the company will continue to deepen its partnerships with celebrities like Liam Nikuro, who attracted much attention as the first male influencer, and Hiro Mizushima, the first actor to become a virtual human. The company will also continue the research and development for AI deep learning. Crowdfunding Overview Horieroid Start Dash Campaign Period To be started soon.
