Virtual Being
A virtual being is a character or other entity within a game or other metaverse experience.
Virtual beings encompasses characters and avatars who are controlled by a human being (such as the “vtubers” and livestreamers like Code Miko) who use a combination of mocap and 3D models to present themselves, as well as characters controlled by machine intelligence. The latter are an evolution of the concept of a non-player character (NPC)—characters in a story directed by the creators of a game or self-directed by AI.
