MonsterHouse: a voice-interactive Halloween projection built on NVIDIA Nemotron models
Overview
An NVIDIA employee built MonsterHouse, an interactive Halloween projection in which a grumpy talking garage door answers trick-or-treaters in the voice of an old pirate ship, according to a Hugging Face blog post.
The post says the character runs entirely on one workstation, using NVIDIA's Nemotron Voice Agent with Nemotron Speech ASR for speech recognition, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB as the response model, Magpie TTS Zeroshot for voice, and Audio2Face-3D for mouth animation. The developer says the system was built to be off-grid and self-contained, under a memory and compute budget.
The MonsterHouse code is not being released. The developer says every NVIDIA model it uses is available now, and the Nemotron Voice Agent covers most of what is needed to rebuild it.
