The official website of the National Radio and Television Administration announced on November 28 the approval and implementation of the industry standard "Technical Requirements for Digital Virtual Humans." The release of this recommended industry standard aims to standardize the definition, classification, application scenarios, imagery, driving technology, platform capabilities, and security capabilities of digital virtual humans, applicable to technology system builders, creators, and users.
The "Technical Requirements for Digital Virtual Humans" specifies four major application scenarios: content broadcasting, interactive customer service, virtual studios, and content creation, covering news reporting, film and television introductions, live commerce, variety show hosting, virtual concerts, entertainment activities, and user agent virtual avatars.
In terms of technical requirements, the standard stipulates that the digital virtual human imagery must feature full-body, three-quarter, and half-body poses, and the imagery must be intact without distortions, mosaics, frame jumps, damage, audio-video delays, or lip-sync inconsistencies.
Additionally, the digital human imagery must align with the set scenario tasks, being appropriate and aesthetically pleasing in terms of character appearance, expressions, and attire. Furthermore, the deployment platform must support the leasing of digital virtual human imagery, asset management, business service configuration, and content production services.
Regarding personal information security, the "Technical Requirements for Digital Virtual Humans" specifically emphasizes that when editing biometric information such as real human faces and voices, the individual being edited must be informed and give their explicit consent. This provision is of great significance for protecting personal privacy and information security.
