This section mainly introduces how to add digital humans in spatial scenes, with the following two methods available for adding digital humans:
Click on "Create Project With AI"
Click to enter the UI interface, set the "Name", "Size", and "Prompt" for the AI-created Space.

Click on it to start communicating with the digital human based on the background information you entered for the AI digital human.
To add digital humans to your space, enter the space scene you created and click on "Character" --> "Universal" to display many AI digital human models.
There are numerous AI digital humans for you to choose from.
Select the digital human you want in "Universal", then click on the location within the space scene where you want to place them; if the position is off, you can locate the "Move" icon in the "Toolbox" to adjust it.
In the "Project Manager", locate the AI digital human you added (usually at the bottom), left-click to pop up the "Properties" UI.
In the "Properties" UI, click on "AI Chat", then click on the "Edit ICON".
An AI Chat interface pops up, fill in the information according to the interface prompts, and click on "Set" when finished.
