Crafting Diversity: How Devant Builds Realistic Synthetic Characters

When working with human-centric applications, it's crucial to develop characters that authentically represent the diversity of human appearances. This includes accounting for variations in ethnicity, age, skin tones, hairstyles, and accessories.

A key aspect of creating this diversity lies in representing different age groups. At Devant, all of our characters are based on realistic human physiology, with a focus on capturing the nuances of various age groups, genders, ethnicities, and skin tones. This approach ensures our characters meet the diverse requirements of human-centric applications across a broad range of use cases.

Devant’s synthetic characters are organized into five distinct age groups: Infants, Toddlers, Children, Teenagers, and Adults. This structured approach allows us to design characters that reflect the unique visual and developmental traits of each stage of life.

By incorporating these age groups, we can address the diverse requirements of our clients across industries. From in-cabin experiences to security and facial recognition applications, our age-appropriate characters offer both realism and flexibility in meeting specific needs.

The images above showcase some of the distinct age groups we support in our synthetic character development process. At Devant, every character is crafted based on realistic human physiology as a reference. These references serve as guidance only and we do not replicate or recreate any real individuals. By leveraging detailed reference imagery, we strive to replicate the nuances of each life stage with accuracy and authenticity.
Considering details such as growth patterns of the eyes, mandible and nasal bone to accurately represent each age group.

Defining these age groups serves as the foundation for categorizing our characters. However, our approach goes beyond broad age classifications. We offer precise control over the exact age of the character. For instance, within the "Adult" category, we can create a character modeled after a 30-year-old man or a 65-year-old woman, depending on the specific requirements.

This level of flexibility ensures that our characters align seamlessly with the diverse scenarios and applications our clients demand, offering a truly tailored and lifelike representation of human diversity.

Another crucial aspect of creating realistic synthetic characters is representing a diverse range of ethnicities and skin tones. This step is a fundamental part of our character creation process, ensuring that we encompass ethnicities such as Caucasian, African, Hispanic, Indian, and Middle Eastern.

To further enhance realism and inclusivity, we incorporate a variety of skin tones within each ethnicity. Our process is guided by the Fitzpatrick Scale, which provides a scientifically grounded framework for representing a spectrum of skin tones. This approach enables us to create synthetic characters that are both authentic and representative of real-world diversity.

We look forward to continuing to share how Devant’s synthetic models support innovative and realistic solutions for human-centric technology.
