The collaboration between “Creta and Quavatar” aims to deliver customized AI story and AI-powered social services.
Creta has signed a partnership agreement with EO Ground, the developer behind the AI avatar service “Quavatar,” led by Hyuk-il Kwon, co-founder of Naver and honorary director of Happybean.
Creta’s AI avatar system uses real-time image capture through a phone camera, allowing users’ natural facial expressions and emotions to be instantly reflected on a 3D avatar.
As a “customized AI avatar service,” Quavatar seeks to integrate avatars trained by users into all areas of daily life, including social and story services.
Seoul, South Korea – October 30, 2024 – Advanced digital human implementation technology is set to be fully integrated into the Creta Multiverse. Creta, a global Web3 gaming platform, announced a partnership with EO Ground, the developer behind the AI-driven avatar system “Quavatar.”
EO Ground was founded by Hyuk-il Kwon, co-founder of Naver and current honorary director of Naver Happybean. The company’s Quavatar project aims to provide advanced AI services across diverse digital platforms by developing digital human avatars with human-like intelligence through continuous AI learning.
Under this agreement, Creta will accelerate the integration of its newly developed Creta AI Avatar system with Quavatar’s technology to deliver personalized AI story and AI social services. The Creta AI Avatar system uses real-time image capture via a smartphone camera to recognize diverse human facial expressions in ultra-high resolution, instantly reflecting them on the user’s avatar. Combined with a realistic speech feature that simulates the user’s own voice, this innovative technology enables the creation of highly immersive and lifelike AI avatars.
Avatars created with the Creta AI Avatar system, enhanced by Quavatar’s technology, can continuously learn a user’s patterns and behaviors, enabling them to function as a “second self” in the digital world. Alternatively, users can create avatars modeled after their favorite personalities, customizing their appearance, personality, habits, and speech style.

Ray Nakazato, CCO of Creta, remarked, “The fusion of Creta and Quavatar’s AI avatar systems will offer users an unprecedented level of AI avatar service, far beyond anything previously imagined.” He continued, “On the Creta platform, every character will closely resemble a real person, having absorbed the personality, lifestyle, and traits of an individual, rather than simply functioning as NPCs.”
