Nvidia Uses AI to Slash Bandwidth on Video Calls

I think the ability to, as someone mentioned it, have yourself look a bit tidier than you actually are (working from home) could be a huge benifit.

I mean taking away focus on things that doesn't matter in a virtual meeting such as: Where you are sitting - via Virtual Background Your daily hair style status or if you have a nose pimple - Via NVIDIAs AI showcased here. Would be great.

Though replacing yourself with a "digital" avatar I think takes away many of the benefits an actual live meeting provides.

It depends on how accurately the avatar is able to represent important information: emotion, attention, state of mind, etc. There's a lot of bandwidth in looking at a face (and bodylanguage as well), that's where the value in face-to-face meetings is.
