At the start of 2024, WWT embarked on an innovative journey by launching a RAGbot, a chatbot powered by NVIDIA's retrieval-augmented generation technology. This initiative laid the groundwork for our next venture: developing a universal translator on the NVIDIA platform, focusing on multilingual speech-to-text translation using NVIDIA RIVA.

Our trajectory took an exciting turn when NVIDIA invited us to showcase a digital human at Disney's Data and Analytics Conference (DDAC), just five weeks away. This opportunity allowed us to pivot swiftly, presenting both a challenge and a chance to highlight our AI capabilities.

To tackle this ambitious project, we assembled a team of experts and devised a comprehensive roadmap for designing, building, testing and deploying a digital human.

NVIDIA's Blueprint for Digital Human being in its developmental stages, so we adapted in near real-time to integrate the latest updates and insights. We tailored our digital human, Ellie, to operate on-premises within a fully air-gapped environment, utilizing minimal infrastructure resources. With just four GPUs, users could engage with a digital human capable of conversing in five languages.

So, how did we do it?
