NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang celebrates the holidays with an AI-powered version of Jingle Bells. The NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine was tapped to bring Toy Jensen to life, which is essentially a collection of cloud-native AI microservices and workflows for developers to easily build, customize and deploy engaging and interactive avatars.
Aside from NVIDIA Omniverse ACE, the team also used Omniverse Audio2Face and Audio2Gesture technologies to generate realistic facial expressions and body movements for the animated Toy Jensen performance based his audio alone. Not satisfied with just a solo performance, NVIDIA collaborated with Jochem van der Saag, a composer and producer who has worked with Michael Bublé, to create the perfect backing track for Jingle Bells.

It’s a really amazing technology, and the fact that we can do this is phenomenal. We have van der Saag composing the song, and he’s gonna also orchestrate it for us. So that’s a really great addition to the team. And we’re really excited to have him on board,” said Cyrus Hogg, an NVIDIA technical program manager.
