abstract = {The growing dependence on virtual spaces for communication and collaboration has transformed interactions in numerous industries, ranging from professional meetings to education, entertainment, and healthcare. Despite the advancement of AI technologies such as three-dimensional modeling, voice cloning, and conversational AI, the convergence of these technologies in a single platform is still challenging. This paper introduces a unified framework that brings together state-of-the-art 3D avatar generation, real-time voice cloning, and conversational AI to enhance virtual interactions. The system utilizes Triplane neural representations and neural radiation fields (NeRF) for high-fidelity 3D avatar generation, speaker encoders coupled with Tacotron 2 and WaveRNN for natural voice cloning, and a context-aware chat algorithm for adaptive conversations. By overcoming the challenges of customization, integration, and real-time performance, the proposed framework addresses the increasing needs for realistic virtual representations, setting new benchmarks for AI-augmented interaction in virtual conferences, online representation, education, and healthcare. © 2025 IEEE.},

abstract = {This work analyzes the deployment of conversational agents based on large language models (LLMs) in cloud-edge architectures, placing emphasis on scalability, efficiency and real-time performance. Through a case study, we present a web application that allows users to interact with an augmented reality avatar that impersonates a historical character. The agent, powered by an LLM delivers immersive and contextually coherent dialogues. We discuss the solutions adopted to manage latency and distribute the computational load between the cloud, which takes care of language processing, and the edge nodes, ensuring a smooth user experience. The results obtained demonstrate how accurate design can optimize the use of LLMs in distributed environments, offering advanced and high-performance interactions even in applications with high reactivity and customization requirements. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.},
