Steve Jarratt’s 23 August IBC 365 post begins with a really good summation of what virtual production is, for the uninitiated. ” …the combination of physical and digital assets in a real-time filmmaking environment. It ranges from motion capture stages with real-time feedback of digital doubles and virtual worlds, to the latest advances in LED […]
An MIT project supported by Sony has demonstrated that photorealistic 3D colour holograms can now be generated quickly, even on a smartphone. Generating the vast amounts of data required to enable stable holography has already been considered a significant 3D visualisation challenge, so this could represent a big breakthrough. Obvious applications include VR and AR […]
As demand grows for AI solutions that process images from cameras and other photo sensors, more efficient systems are needed. Like NVIDIA and others before it and drawing on its mobile technology developments, chip maker Qualcomm has unveiled an R&D project that reduces the compute power needed to handle visual AI, in turn reducing the […]
Researchers at the University of Trento, the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, and Snap, Inc. have devised an AI system that uses a framework they call Clustering for Action Decomposition and DiscoverY (CADDY) to learn a set of discrete actions from a large library of video clips that can be used to create new “playable” videos […]
Gartner estimates that 37% of all organisations are using AI in anger today and predicts that that number will double to 75% by 2024. To maintain its competitive edge using detailed analysis of every aspect of its operations, one large US supermarket chain alone currently generates 2.5 petabytes of data A DAY! AI processes require […]
The Times has recently reported that, hot on the heels of the announcement of a new Centre of Excellence in Cambridge, NVIDIA has revealed that it is to site its powerful new AI-focused supercomputer at the KAO Data Centre in Harlow, Essex. Cambridge-1, as it is known, which will spend a lot of its time […]
