Usage permission of sample avatar "Amelia"

Unity Questions
1

Hello!

I would like to ask about the official permission regarding the usage of the Unity Convai sample avatar “Amelia”.

I am currently working on a research project that will be submitted to the ACM CHI (Computer-Human-Interaction) conference, and in my paper I must use Convai as a core platform. In this context, I would like to officially obtain permission from Convai to use the sample avatar “Amelia” in academic publications and research outputs.

More specifically, I would like to confirm if the following uses are permitted:

  • Using “Amelia” in figures and screenshots that will appear directly in the CHI paper

  • Using “Amelia” in a demo video that will be included as supplementary material for the CHI submission

  • Using “Amelia” without purchasing additional licensing, strictly for academic (non-commercial) research purposes

If permission is granted, please let me know if there is a required attribution or copyright credit line that I should include in the paper. If so, please provide the correct wording so we can cite it properly.

Short description on how Convai is used in our research:

  • We are building an interactive VR environment using Unity XR

  • Convai is used as the main dialogue + language understanding module

  • The avatar “Amelia” is used as the embodied conversational agent within the VR space

  • Motion tokens and dialogue events are triggered based on user actions and context

  • All conversations are handled through Convai’s API and character LLM backend

I want to make sure that we fully respect Convai’s asset usage and licensing policy for academic publication, and therefore I would like to request your official approval for this research usage.

Thank you very much!

Hello,

This is a free Reallusion character, and you can design and use it in your project through CC4. For Convai, the only requirement is that the Convai logo displayed in the UI should not be removed.

Thank you very much for your response.

I have one more question regarding the requirement not to remove the Convai UI logo. Could you please send me an example screenshot showing where the Convai UI logo appears in Unity?

To give more context, the materials that will be included in the paper are mainly:

  • a screenshot of the Convai dashboard site where the character backstory is customized

  • and a screenshot of a scene where the character is being interacted with inside the VR world we created

Thank you again for your help.

The Convai logo appears in the bottom-right corner of the chat UI.
