Video: Humans share stage with virtual peers

The AI+Art Journey of Wonder in Shanghai last week featured performances that integrated artificial intelligence with modern dance and folk songs, as well as piano performances that were complemented with holograms and 3D images. Luo Tianyi, one of the most popular virtual idols developed by Yamaha in collaboration with Shanghai Henian Information Technology Co, was the co-host alongside compere Zhou Junfu. The highlight of the event was an Italian robot playing the piano while singing a song accompanied by real singers. Dai Xiaorong, a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music who was the art director of the event, said that she found that AI can create more space and inspiration for artistic creation and bring the audience a unique experience that integrates art, science and technology.
