The technology that can simulate a human presence in online interactions is called virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). These technologies create immersive digital environments or overlay digital information onto the physical world, allowing for interactive experiences. In online settings, AR can facilitate virtual meetings or customer interactions, making them feel more personal and engaging. Additionally, avatars and lifelike representations powered by AI can enhance these interactions, making users feel that they are communicating with real people, which can improve user satisfaction and connection.
