1sec Inc, a company focuses on fabricating projects in virtual and reality space, has developed Japan’s first male virtual influencer, “Liam Nikuro.”

專注於虛擬和現實空間項目製作的1sec公司開發了日本第一個男性虛擬人氣形象“利亞姆•尼庫羅”。

Liam is powered by computer processing, 3D CG technology that are used to project virtual three-dimensional objects onto flat surfaces, creating images with a sense of depth. 

利亞姆是由計算機3D CG技術合成的。3D CG技術用於將虛擬三維物體投射到平面上，創建具有立體感的圖像。

The use of this technology is becoming increasingly common in media such as live-action and animated films as well as video games.

這種技術的使用在媒體中越來越普遍，例如真人電影、動畫電影以及視頻遊戲。

Liam is a virtual character who was created by superimposing an all-CG head made with the use of 3D tools on a body filmed in live action. 

利亞姆是通過把利用3D工具製作的全cg頭部疊加在真人拍攝的身體上，而創造出的虛擬人物。

He is set to work in the fields of music, fashion, and entertainment, where he will be involved in the production of a wide range of content as a multimedia producer. 

他將活躍在音樂、時尚和娛樂領域，作爲多媒體制作人蔘與製作範圍廣泛的作品。

He will also be at the center of efforts aimed at producing innovative creative content in combination with AI (artificial intelligence) technology.

他還將和人工智能技術結合，作爲主力創作出具有創新性的東西。

"Liam may be virtual, but we are aiming to create content that is just as fascinating and cool as what his real counterparts have to offer, and to entertain people all over the planet.” said Genie, producer of the Liam Nikuro project. 

利亞姆•尼庫羅項目的創作者吉尼說：“利亞姆可能是虛擬的，但我們的目標是和他的真實對手一樣創造出優秀炫酷的內容，並給全世界的人帶來享受。”

“We are working on a variety of projects that we intend to bring to the world in the near future."
