👾 The video domain has seen significant advancements recently. Kling from Hailing introduced their innovative technology, followed by Luma's The Dream Machine, and now Runway has announced its Gen-3 Alpha model. This new model can generate realistic 10-second video clips featuring a range of emotions and camera movements. Key features of the Gen-3 Alpha model include: 🎥 Text-2-Video, Image-2-Video, and Text-2-Image generation  🎬 Motion and camera control tools  📹 Detailed industry-standard training  🖼️ Customizable for specific styles with entertainment/media organizations 🔗Link to the announcement and more examples: https://lnkd.in/dtKGuNbS #Runway #Gen3Alpha #VideoGen #AI

🎬 AI in Pop Culture: More Than Just Sci-Fi 🎥 📺 From HAL 9000 in "2001: A Space Odyssey" to the voice assistants in our pockets, AI has been a star in pop culture long before it became a reality. 🤖 Kubrick’s HAL, introduced in 1968, portrayed a future where machines could think—and even make decisions on their own. While HAL's level of autonomy seemed like pure fiction back then, today’s AI can indeed make complex choices, though luckily without the sinister twist! 🕊️ ☮️ Yet, AI has already moved beyond science fiction into our reality. The futuristic holograms in Star Wars (1977) seemed like pure fantasy, but today we’re witnessing the rise of AI-driven AR and VR experiences that bring similar concepts to life. Meanwhile, "Ex Machina" (2014) 🤖🤔 offered a thought-provoking look at human-like AI and its ethical implications, reflecting our ongoing dialogue about AI's role in society. Botique.me, we're building on this legacy, pushing the boundaries of what AI can do for businesses today. We're not just imagining the future—we're creating it. 🚀💡 #AIChatbots #DigitalTransformation #ArtificialIntelligence #AIForBusiness #CustomerExperience

Here is a new iteration in our current exploration revolving around the use of physical interfaces to feed and interact with a real-time img2img diffusion pipeline, using Stream Diffusion and SDXL Turbo. I may be spending way too much time messing around with this. 😊 #ai #stablediffusion #realtime #rnd #MR #mixedreality #aiart

Only two months ago, I reposted a fascinating AR video game concept that ingeniously allowed players to engage in gameplay while vacuuming, and yesterday, Dyson launched their Dyson CleanTrace. It's astounding how rapidly concepts can evolve into reality. The pace at which technology, particularly AI, is advancing is truly remarkable. If anything, this serves as a wake-up call for us to hop on board now and embrace the wave of innovation before it passes us by. The future is unfolding before our eyes, and it's up to us to seize the opportunities it presents. Let's embrace the transformative power of AI and ride the wave of progress into a brighter tomorrow. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gGtvQdFP #Innovation #AI #TechEvolution

Ever heard of Alternative Realities!? I remember sharing a how to video on benchmarking aka combining to images to create a new image and I was fascinated back then I thought The implications will be Massive, and few months forward. What started as image manipulation is evolving into real-time video generation. The most exciting part? This technology is racing towards real-time AR/VR applications. Imagine wearing Meta Ray-Bans and seeing these transformations happen live, right before your eyes. We're literally watching the building blocks of alternative realities take shape. The line between digital and physical worlds is becoming increasingly blurred. Check out my old video that I did on benchmarking two images, combining Dr Peterson with Leonardo da Vinci : https://lnkd.in/gqQaSmHm #AugmentedReality #AI #TechInnovation #FutureOfTech #ComputerVision

Picture this: Each sweep of the vacuum brings the thrill of a treasure hunt as you gather virtual coins off your living room floor. This is how Daniel Beauchamp reimagined the tedious chore of home cleaning. This isn't just cleaning, it's an augmented reality adventure where your vacuum becomes your avatar, and each speck of dust is a potential goldmine. A smart way to make cleaning fun!!!

🎥 Generating Motion Capture Data from Video Clips: Fueling AI Mocap Applications Motion capture (mocap) technology has come a long way, and now we can extract valuable data from a single video clip. Here’s how: 1. Data Extraction: Starting with a video containing human movement, it is possible to use computer vision techniques to extract key points (like joint positions) from each frame. These points serve as the raw mocap data. 2. Data Processing: It is possible to clean the raw data by removing noise, outliers, and inconsistencies and apply interpolation to fill gaps between frames, ensuring smooth motion. Immersive experiences rely on accurate motion data and AI algorithms adapt to user movements in real time. AI Mocap Applications contribute to shape the future of various field, like Animation and Gaming: In which AI-driven mocap ensures lifelike movements enhancing realistic character animations in video games and films. Healthcare and Rehabilitation: Where AI mocap aids physical therapy allowing a precise tracking of patient movements, crucial for assessment. Remember, just from a single video clip, we can fuel these AI mocap applications and build a new standard for animation. 🤖💡 An example like this perfectly depicts the future of Motion Capture! #MotionCapture #AI #ComputerVision #Technology Alessandro Diana Maria Mazzone Fabio Sergio Tommaso Nervegna Nick Rosa, FRSA James Temple John Monos Elizabeth Valleau Tony Currie Luigi Russo Farhan Qureshi Giacomo Garoffolo Roberto Romero Pérez Katie Burke Alexandre Gabriel Levy Fadi Chehimi, PhD Max Da Vià

Last time on Beauty History, we introduced AI, AR and ML terminology, and shared an overview of emerging tech platforms from hardware to software. We also saw how Beauty retailers are harnessing the power of AR to enhance consumer experiences and sustainability efforts. In this Episode, we dive into Generative AI and Film. Join us, as we explore how brands and artists are making their debut in the Metaverse, and what it means to the Future of Beauty. The Future of Beauty — AI + XR Part 2 Watch now:

Here’s an example of SAM V2: with just one click on the first frame of the video, it tracked Simone Biles perfectly, even through the super fast motion at the end. 🎯 Introducing the Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2), the first unified model that can identify which pixels belong to a target object in an image or video. Real-time Object Segmentation: 🔸Segments any object and consistently follows it across all frames of a video in real-time. 🔸Unlocks new possibilities for video editing and mixed reality experiences. Two Ways to Run SAM 2: 1️⃣Automatic Mask Generator: Segments all objects in an image or video and generates corresponding masks. 2️⃣Point Prompt: Allows for specific segmentation by using a point or series of points. Prompts for Identifying Object Location: 🔹 A specific point or series of points that correspond with the object you want to segment. 🔹 A box that surrounds the object you want to segment. These prompts can be applied to both images and videos. #samv2 #ai #tech #machinelearning #meta #aitool #olympics2024
