The biggest update from the previous zuzalu community rounds is that the physical sculpture that represents the Rio Sagrado's AI-vatar (and that will host its associated hardware) is finalized at the ["Salto do Sagrado"](https://www.facebook.com/Cachoeirasaltodosagrado/) visiting center! Genadir has worked on it for a period of two months, creating multiples animal sculptures to highlight the local fauna, as well as indigenous figures to showcase the local culture.

And some of these wooden figures have been digitalized to be part of the Rio Sagrado AI-vatar Metaverse Experience, which has also been very recently released as a platform to illustrate the use of such AI-vatars.

On the sensors front, the [sensing module of the avatar has been connected to its dedicated database with the first 5 sensors working](https://youtu.be/CcM0LKK8BUk) (atmospherical temperature, humidity, pressure and air quality, and water TDS levels). The [voice recognitoin](https://youtu.be/08UxVlWB4ds) and the text to audio modules for the avatar has also been finalized. 

The main challenge at the moment is the wiring up of these  modules to a custom LLM setup, alongside its capacity to access text data around the river's cultural/geological histories.
