Conversational Avatar Communication

Avatars are synthesised digital representations of participants, animated in real time from audio and video input, enabling immersive video calls and virtual presence experiences. The 5G-MAG implementation provides codec, rendering, and streaming tools for avatar communications over 5G networks. For the ARF data model, component breakdown and specification status, see Implementation status.
