VR Unity 3D Project Enhancement

I'm looking for a seasoned Unity 3D developer to improve my current VR avatar project. The objective is to facilitate automatic voice interactions, eliminating the need for button presses, and creating a seamless, hands-free conversation between a user and the avatar. Key Tasks: - Implement Voice Activity Detection (VAD) in Unity 3D to allow the avatar to automatically detect when a user begins speaking. - Enable real-time interaction where the avatar listens to the user's speech, processes it through an existing OpenAI's API connection via WebSocket, and responds with synthesized speech. - Enhance the avatar's interactivity by making it detect the direction of the user's voice and move towards them. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Extensive experience with Unity 3D, specifically in creating and enhancing VR applications. - Proficiency in implementing Server-side Voice Activity Detection (VAD). - Prior experience with OpenAI's API is a plus. - Strong understanding of creating neutral, yet engaging avatar interactions.
