Research on Digital Virtual Humans in the Metaverse for Smart Teaching

Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology and artificial intelligence, the virtual digital world known as the metaverse has become an important extension of the real world. This paper aims to explore the design, implementation, and application of digital virtual humans in the metaverse for smart teaching. Firstly, starting from the concept and characteristics of digital virtual humans, we introduce the current development status and application scenarios of digital virtual humans. Then, we expound on the concept of smart teaching and discuss the roles of digital virtual humans in smart teaching, such as teaching assistants, personalized learning tutors, and simulated learning environments. We also analyze the advantages and challenges of digital virtual humans in smart teaching, including aspects like language understanding, emotion recognition, and privacy security. Finally, this paper discusses the development trends and challenges of digital virtual humans, providing new ideas and directions for the education field, exploring how to achieve smart teaching in the virtual world, in order to better meet the learning needs of students and improve the quality and effectiveness of education.
