This article will focus on and systematically analyze the "technology and application trends of the virtual human industry", from the origin and concept of virtual humans to the multi-field applications brought about by technological progress, and comprehensively demonstrate the important influence and future potential of virtual humans in the digital economy. First, the evolution of virtual humans is discussed, explaining how they have gradually become core members of the digital economic ecosystem from simple game entertainment characters. With the development of artificial intelligence, virtual humans not only have higher realism and emotional expression capabilities, but can also be flexibly applied in entertainment, fashion, retail, education, medical and other fields, becoming an important driving force for economic growth. Through classic cases such as Hatsune Miku, Lil Miquela, and Mila, this article gives examples of how virtual humans can play a diversified role in brand promotion, health management, education and training, etc. In the future, the virtual human industry will continue to make breakthroughs in high fidelity, personalization, digital asset appreciation, and ethical and privacy protection, and will promote the virtual-real symbiosis model of human-machine collaboration and help the development of the digital economy. On this basis, the summary of the article further reflects on the potential meaning of virtual human "life", and looks at the development and application trends of virtual human technology with a responsible and open attitude, encouraging the exploration of innovation in the virtual human industry in an intelligent and harmonious digital future.
