An innovative point cloud compression technology (TSC-PCAC) developed by a joint team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tongji University, and Ningbo University has achieved a significant breakthrough. This technology not only greatly improves the compression efficiency of point cloud data but also significantly reduces processing time, clearing technical obstacles for the development of 3D applications like AR/VR. In the context of the rapid advancement of 3D vision technology, point clouds, as a key data format for virtual and augmented reality, face tremendous transmission and storage challenges. A high-quality point cloud can contain millions of data points, with each point...

A research team at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has recently unveiled an AI technology called SOLAMI, which can create lifelike 3D virtual characters that not only interact with you in real-time in the VR world but also understand your voice and movements, allowing for chatting, dancing, and even boxing! This is simply a blessing for gaming, virtual socializing, and singles alike! SOLAMI is an end-to-end social vision-language-action (VLA) modeling framework that leverages deep learning technology to translate user voice and movements into a form understandable by virtual characters.
