Description

We often think of mixed reality as blurring the lines between reality and fiction - and do that effectively, developers have long battled to make virtual and augmented worlds more realistic and immersive. Significant progress has been made in displays, haptics, motion tracking, and graphics, but what role does generative AI have to play? And how can developers leverage AI to unlock a new frontier in mixed reality?

AI-driven characters will pave the way for new forms of entertainment, education, and communication. Join Inworld and our partners Niantic and Liquid City in a discussion on developing mixed reality experiences with intelligent characters.

Description

With a proven 20-plus year customer track record of daily use in mission critical health and military applications globally, 3dMD’s dynamic-4D capture systems are providing the same ‘near-ground truth’ 3D images and high-throughput workflows to its tech sector customers. 3dMD captures natural human actions, behaviors, gestures, nuances, etc., thus personalizing ‘ground-truth’ people into ‘near-ground truth’ digital-3D interpretation input for Web3.0. This talk explores the true economic benefits of baselining with a ‘near-ground truth’ digital-3D Doppelganger population and how this can create derivative avatar market opportunities beyond gaming, entertainment, and social media interactions.
