Summary

Render Foundry, led by Shane Boyce and Josh Harwell, specializes in creating immersive experiences using Unreal Engine, notably achieving a groundbreaking interactive experience featuring Babe Ruth with the aid of Hume's custom voice cloning technology. This project enables visitors to engage in authentic conversations with a virtual Babe Ruth, capturing his tonal qualities, cadence, and personality, thus transcending typical museum exhibits and offering a unique blend of education and personal connection. Through a seamless combination of visual and audio simulation, Render Foundry's work exemplifies the potential of empathic AI in creating richly interactive digital experiences that humanize AI responses, as noted by Creative Director Josh Harwell.
