What Vivience Is<\/p>\n

One initiative. Three connected capabilities.<\/h2>\n

Vivience connects original research, cinematic character production and applied implementation. None of these layers is treated as an afterthought.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\n

01<\/p>\n

Research Initiative<\/h3>\n

Investigating Affective-Emotive Resonance, persona scaffolding, memory, embodiment, relational continuity and duty of care.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\n

02<\/p>\n

White-Glove Digital-Human Studio<\/h3>\n

Designing one-of-one MetaHuman and Character Creator characters, voices, personalities, worlds, cinematics and interactive experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>\n

03<\/p>\n

Applied Innovation Partner<\/h3>\n

Translating research into prototypes, institutional pilots, cultural experiences, media, brand ambassadors, assistants and training systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our Purpose<\/p>\n

To make human-like AI more coherent, useful and accountable.<\/h2>\n

Vivience studies and designs the systems behind the face: identity, personality, knowledge, memory, embodiment, spatial context, interaction and relational boundaries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Standard We Set<\/p>\n

ORIGINAL CHARACTER IDENTITY
PROJECT-SPECIFIC PERSONA
DEFENSIBLE KNOWLEDGE ARCHITECTURE
TRANSPARENT AI IDENTITY
RESEARCH-INFORMED EVALUATION
RESPONSIBLE RELATIONAL BOUNDARIES
CLEAR OWNERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our Journey<\/p>\n

From practice-based research to an independent international initiative.<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

FOUNDATIONS<\/p>\n

Creative Technology and Virtual Production<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Decades of filmmaking, real-time production, performance, character creation and immersive experience design established the practical foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

GEORGIA STATE RESEARCH PHASE<\/p>\n

CMII and CHAI Ecosystem<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Digital-human inquiry developed through Georgia State University\u2019s Creative Media Industries Institute and Collaborative Human-AI Center environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2025<\/p>\n

LightArch, Annelore and AER<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Two distinct research personas and a neutral baseline supported a controlled comparative study of persona scaffolding and relational behaviour.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2026<\/p>\n

Publication and Recognition<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The AER paper entered IEEE Xplore and Vivience received Georgia State University\u2019s Panther Innovations and Research Award.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

NOW<\/p>\n

Independent International Development<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Vivience is advancing from Trondheim, Norway, while maintaining its documented research provenance and international creative-production lineage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Professor<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Founder and Principal Investigator<\/p>\n

Prof. Jeasy Sehgal<\/h2>\n

An international filmmaker, creative technologist, educator and practice-based researcher working across digital humans, virtual production, affective computing, immersive simulation and human-AI interaction.<\/p>\n

Sehgal originated the Affective-Emotive Resonance framework and directs the Vivience AI Research Initiative. His Georgia State profile documents research in digital humans, virtual production and empathic and emotional responses, while CMII identifies Vivience as an initiative directed by him.<\/p>\n
