WANDR is a cutting-edge conditional Variational AutoEncoder (c-VAE) that generates realistic motion for human avatars. Input the initial pose, goal location, and desired motion duration. WANDR then outputs a seamless sequence of poses guiding the avatar to the goal and reaching for it.   Discover the future of motion generation with WANDR! #motiongeneration #virtualreality #digital #Techinnovation #futureofai  

🚀 The Future of VTubing is Here: Meet LivePortrait by KwaiVGI! 🎭 Imagine bringing any portrait to life with realistic facial expressions and movements. That's exactly what LivePortrait does, and it's revolutionizing the world of virtual avatars. Here's the scoop: ✅ Animates portraits with impressive head turns up to 45° ✅ Nails facial expressions, especially eyes and eyebrows ✅ Works best with short hairstyles (sorry, Rapunzel!) ✅ Lightning-fast: 12.8ms per frame on an RTX 4090 GPU The best part? You can try it yourself! Here's how: 1. Set up ComfyUI 2. Download the ComfyUI-LivePortraitKJ custom node (don't forget InsightFace!) 3. Use the ComfyUI workflow (check comments for link) Just input a portrait image and video, and watch the magic happen! What excites me most ( and scares me a little) is the potential for real-time animation and the upcoming 'Stitching' feature. We're talking Luma AI and Runway level facial expression rendering on video. 🤯 Curious about the tech behind it? Check out the GitHub link in the comments Have you experimented with LivePortrait yet? What creative applications can you envision? Let's discuss in the comments! #AIInnovation #VTubing #LivePortrait #FutureOfContent #AIRenaissance #VANReport Credits: • LivePortrait model: KwaiVGI • ComfyUI: RunComfy • Source portrait: Midjourney • Source video: Juliana Fuentes Silgado

Digital twin does not need to be in 3D! Sure, a car also does not need a body shell to transport people, but it makes all the difference in customers eyes. All of those, who still did not get the concept of world moving forward towards gamification and 3D are going to survive a cultural shock, when we jump directly into mixed reality digital twins. Great approach from Fracture Reality Credits for inspiration: Florian Huemer 2D is against my religion! #3d #digitaltwin #mixedreality #virtualreality #technology #innovation

𝟯 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 why 3D Gaussian Splatting is 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀, and 1 why 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 if you think so... 1. GaSp is not for gaming engines...watch the video 2. GaSp is not in scale...watch the video 3. GaSp is not commercially deliverable...watch the video I will repeat it again and again. NERF, GaSp, or any future similar technology based on neural representation will be a huge part of gaming, VFX, metaverse, AEC etc... You can ask: But how do I export a mesh from it? Well it is like asking Henry Ford: But how do I feed a car with all the grass and hey? Gaming engines are going to be able to work with GaSp (or similar), not the other way around...mind my words. In the video, you can see our Overhead4D first commercially delivered project with 3D Gaussian Splatting. It is a VR application leveraging the combination of photogrammetry, GaSp and assets built with Unreal Engine. I love it Tomas Barnas that you jumped on a GaSp train with me 😍. -------------------- If you like my post and want to support me, please comment and like 👏 -------------------- 👉 Follow Michal Gula (me) for 3D stuff, because #2DisAgainstMyReligion 🔔 Hit that bell on my profile, so that you don't miss anything #3d #technology #innovation #augmentedreality #vision #virtualreality   

Great insights, Michal! I completely agree with you on the potential of 3D Gaussian Splatting (GaSp) and similar technologies in gaming, VFX, metaverse, AEC, and beyond. It's fascinating to see how neural representation-based technologies like GaSp are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in these industries. Your analogy about asking Henry Ford how to feed a car with grass and hay is spot on. Gaming engines will undoubtedly evolve to work seamlessly with GaSp and similar technologies, rather than the other way around. As we've seen with your Overhead4D project, the combination of photogrammetry, GaSp, and Unreal Engine assets in a VR application is truly groundbreaking. I appreciate your dedication to sharing valuable content related to 3D technology. Your post has definitely sparked my interest and I look forward to following your updates. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏

#AugmentedReality: What is #AR? Augmented Reality (AR) is technology that provides users with a real world experience that has been digitally augmented or enhanced!
