The publication titled 2023 Global Digital Human Industry Technology Panorama Map (《2023年全球数字人行业技术全景图谱》) is a landscape-style “panorama map” that organizes the digital human field primarily through a technology lens, presenting the enabling stack and key capability layers that make digital humans possible, such as content and character production pipelines, 3D assets and animation, rendering and real-time engines, speech and audiovisual synthesis, language understanding and dialogue, and deployment tooling, alongside representative industry participants mapped into those layers; it functions as a compact reference for how the core technologies and production workflows fit together and where different firms sit in the overall technical value chain, and it is associated with 前瞻产业研究院 (Qianzhan Industry Research Institute).
Qianzhan Industry Research Institute (前瞻产业研究院) is a China-based industry research and consulting organization that publishes market analyses, industry reports, and structured industry “maps” and datasets across a wide range of technology and consumer sectors; its outputs typically focus on market sizing, competitive landscapes, supply chains, and technology/application segmentation intended for business planning and investment or strategy use, and it is the credited source for titles such as the 2023 Global Digital Human Industry Technology Panorama Map (《2023年全球数字人行业技术全景图谱》).
The publication titled Global Virtual Digital Human Industry Atlas 2023 Edition – Tuoluo Research Institute (《全球虚拟数字人产业图谱2023版-陀螺研究院》) is an “industry atlas” that frames the space more as an ecosystem and market structure, mapping virtual digital humans across upstream-to-downstream segments and common application domains, typically emphasizing the industrial organization around production studios and toolchains, platform and distribution channels, commercialization and operations, and sectoral use cases (including brand marketing, media presentation, entertainment, and enterprise-facing deployments), with representative companies positioned to show how the broader产业 (industry) is assembled rather than focusing only on the underlying technical stack; it is branded as a 2023 edition and is attributed to 陀螺研究院 (Tuoluo Research Institute).
Tuoluo Research Institute (陀螺研究院) is the research and content arm of the Tuoluo/VR Tuoluo media ecosystem that focuses on immersive computing and adjacent digital content industries, commonly covering VR/AR, metaverse-adjacent markets, interactive entertainment, and virtual digital human ecosystems; it publishes topical industry observations and periodic “industry atlas/map” graphics that summarize market participants and segments for fast ecosystem scanning, and it is the credited source for the Global Virtual Digital Human Industry Atlas series (e.g., 《全球虚拟数字人产业图谱2023版》).
