This is a system which lets you talk to NPCs in video games. It's a collection of off the shelf components held together by some Python code. The components do this:
- Listen to the user talking and convert speech to text.
- Watch the user's facial expressions via webcam.
- Watch the game, and use face recognition on the game images to determine what character is being addressed.
- Run the user's text through a LLM preloaded with about 30 lines of info about the NPC to generate a reply.
- Generate voice output in a voice generated to match the character's persona.
- Modify the image of the character on screen to animate their facial expressions to match the voice output. This is done on the output image, not by animating the 3D character.
