Nanjing University (南京大学) turned one of its “treasures of the university” into a digital human: Xiao Keding (小克鼎), the personification of the Western Zhou bronze ding donated to the university’s predecessor in 1934, designed and produced by the university’s own School of Intelligence Science and Technology together with the university archives. The character leads the short video《当南大的文物醒来》(When NJU’s Relics Awaken), in which personified campus relics guide viewers through the university’s history; the piece was selected into an education fusion-media annual case list at the end of 2025. The university’s national media-teaching demonstration centre has run a “digital human and virtual production” course since 2022, in which students build face models from photographs, dress them from a digital asset library and drive them with their own real-time expressions. Around campus, the AI Tiaotiao (AI挑挑) mascot is placed into campus scenes during major competition periods, and a university-affiliated medical team’s focused-ultrasound quality-control platform was launched in Chongqing with an AI digital human persona as its public-facing interface.
