SAM, is also the name of Activa Multimèdia’s 3D virtual weatherman who presents weather forecasts in video clips that are generated automatically.
This “a la carte” video-on-demand service can be viewed on mobile devices and the Internet.
It also allows television networks to enrich their automatic weather forecasts by adding a virtual character.
Unlike other virtual weather presenters, SAM has his own personality and communicates naturally on camera. His voice is generated from recorded real voices.
SAM can be easily customized (dress, set, camera shots, etc.) and can adapt to the season, the time of day, the type of information, etc.
Moreover, SAM works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
SAM presents weather forecasts for a large number of geographical locations. It would be impossible for a person to record that many videos each day.
