Spatius.ai
Spatius provides a real-time AI avatar infrastructure that leverages edge rendering to deliver lifelike digital humans at a fraction of the cost and bandwidth of traditional cloud streaming. By rendering avatars directly on edge devices, it reduces server load and bandwidth to as low as 100 kbps, enabling stable, low-latency interactions even on constrained networks. The platform offers a direct audio-to-animation engine that accepts audio streams via WebRTC or WebSockets and outputs lip-synced 3D facial animations without external pipelines. It runs efficiently on entry-level hardware (e.g., G88, S565, RK3576) at 1080p 25fps, eliminating the need for dedicated GPUs. Spatius supports custom avatar integration, allowing businesses to deploy proprietary 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models alongside stock avatars. It is designed for diverse use cases such as conversational language tutors, AI interviewers, digital companions, in-vehicle assistants, and AI hardware interfaces. With pricing as low as $0.007 per minute (Scale plan) compared to industry averages around $0.15 per minute, Spatius makes high-fidelity AI avatars economically viable for a broad range of applications.
