@benz145 Refreshing. Sooooo tired of the traditional hype. Either you're compelled by the actual product, or not. Obviously, I'm sold.

How do you feel not about the product, but the demonstration? Maybe I’m being crazy here but it almost felt so thoroughly unproduced as to be paradoxically full of itself 🤔. Maybe it just felt like they weren’t very excited about their own product?

Weeks of effort and we finally have cracked how to produce exceptional #3DVideo for #applevisionpro Encoded using #MVHEVC, we are able to shoot and run amazing 8K #stereoscopic videos. This development brings with it a multitude of exciting possibilities for the future of #VideoProduction. Stay tuned as we push the boundaries on content creation for #Apple #VisionPro #Video #StereoVideo #Vision #apple #SpatialVideo #iphone15pro #8K #AchievementUnlocked

NeRF's in Motion! Using IR's AEONX camera data we've boot strapped a custom mod of NVidia's amazing Instant-NGP to achieve real-time performance playback on consumer hardware @ 30fps #INGP #AI #videogrammetry #NeRF #neuralrendering #volumetric @NVIDIAAIDev @NVIDIAAI #youth83

Augmented Reality meets Billboard 👀 This real-time WebAR prototype, accessible via a link at this particular location, suggests a not-too-distant future where we seamlessly engage with our surroundings via AR wearables.

We've produced #volumetricvideo on stages with (RGB & Depth) 106 cameras, 68 camera, and 8 cameras -- Now, we've shot with 1 traditional 2D camera. Voilà @Volograms -- message.volograms.com/freetrial-spat…

@bpoppenheimer He also benefited (among many others, both behind and in front of camera) by getting his first break in the business from Roger Corman.

James Cameron has written & directed 3 of the top 4 highest-grossing movies of all time (Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Titanic). Before he made movies, Cameron was a truck driver. He didn't go to film school. Instead, on the weekends, he would go to the library and.. "I'd pull any thesis that [University of Southern California] graduate students had written [on] anything that related to film technology," Cameron explained. "And for the cost of xeroxing (photocopying), I [got] all these doctoral dissertations [and] build up these big binders on how everything was done." "So I literally gave myself a full graduate course on film technology for about $120. I didn’t have to enroll in school because it was all there in the library. I’d set it up to go in like I was on a tactical mission, find out what I needed to know, and take it all home." Takeaway 1: When asked what motivated him to read those big binders full of information on filmmaking, Cameron said he was just following what excited him. "People seek out the information and knowledge they need," he said. "It's like a divining rod." The mythologist Joseph Campbell similarly talked about how reading is like "a divining rod," a way to find what you are uniquely attracted to and meant to do. "You’ve got to read," Campbell said. "Find [what] excites you. And if it doesn’t excite you…It’s not yours.” Takeaway 2: Of course, at some point, Cameron had to put the binders down and pick up a camera. When he eventually attempted to make his first movie, Cameron said, “It was a bit like a doctor doing his first appendectomy after having only read about it." The bestselling author and learning expert, Scott Young, has a great article with a great title, "Do The Real Thing." "When you examine case studies of people who have had major accomplishments," Scott writes, "you expect there to be some trick or shortcut...More often, however, the strategy used is dead simple: doing the real thing." Takeaway 3: Leonardo da Vinci used to sign off his letters, “Leonardo da Vinci, disscepolo della sperientia” ("disciple of experience"). He used to believe that one learns best by solely "doing the real thing." Over time, however, he evolved out of this belief and, biographer Walter Isaacson writes, "became a disciple of both experience and received wisdom." When you examine case studies of people who have mastered their craft, you usually find they are "disciples of both experience and received wisdom." Like Cameron, they read the library and they do the real thing. - - - “Those who are in love with practice without theoretical knowledge are like the sailor who goes onto a ship without rudder or compass and who never can be certain whither he is going.” — Leonardo da Vinci Follow @bpoppenheimer for more content like this!

Today was a good day to recheck global marketshare stats. #perspective

Exiting San Jose after #AWE2023...Contemplating history. 1st VR experience? 1996, military helicopter flight simulator (mesh only) 2nd? 2008, HMD producing 360 video content for early ad market. What a long, strange trip it's been...

So long #AWE2023...An exceptional past few days.

. @ARealityEvent - Remarkable tech. Fascinating Panels and speakers. But, getting to spend time with the XR Challenge Award finalists will be my lasting memory of #AWE2023 - A truly inspirational group on so many levels.

@ArcturusXR Still have the original CDrom....have to dust it off...

📷Get ready for a gaming revolution with #The7thGuest! For the first time, experience groundbreaking #volumetricvideo characters powered by HoloSuite and embark on an #immersive adventure filled with mystery, puzzles, and lifelike interactions.🧑 Stay tuned for more details 🤐

AI just took 3D modeling to a whole new level 🤯 Introducing Neuralangelo, a new AI model by NVIDIA that reconstructs mind-blowingly detailed 3D surfaces directly from 2D videos — like photogrammetry on steroids. 🧙🏻‍♂️ Keep reading to see this crazy magic for yourself 🧵

It's an especially exciting time to be working in XR and immersive tech! This year is THE year 😉 Thanks to Story Changes Culture for giving me an opportunity to talk shop. 🚀

One last test and screen grab #volumetric #AR before hopping on flight out to #AWE2023

On set, practical lighting tests for #volumetric video #AR series....lighting=emotion.

@rafamolone @ARealityEvent @Apple See you @ AWE? Hope so!

I will be in the Bay Area next week attending @ARealityEvent and @apple #WWDC23. Anyone wants to meet and chat about AI, XR and volumetric video? 😀

Enabling viewers to experience digital humans within a physical space = truly immersive on emotional level #volumetric

Synthesia research releases HumanRF: High-Fidelity Neural Radiance Fields for Humans in Motion a 4D dynamic neural scene representation that captures full-body appearance in motion from multi-view video input, and enables playback from novel, unseen viewpoints project page: synthesiaresearch.github.io/humanrf/ paper page: huggingface.co/papers/2305.06…

@NimaZeighami Inclusive of volumetric video formats? Tough one with so many proprietary variations....Real-time streaming formats in addition to recorded content (and editing Post pipeline compatibility)?

Today, we made some serious progress in developing and planning to open source a file format for the future of immersive images. This will be a standard that brings the 3D industry together, ensuring ease for adopting and enabling it, and provide intercompatibility for all.
