The hand massage footage may be the most realistic looking cgi I’ve ever seen
I would be interested in knowing how the camera/lighting quality affects the algorithm outcome.
This is freaking amazing, it shouldn't take too long for this algorithm to be optimized to run in real time smoothly
"computation time takes 10 minutes..."
I didn't realize the "uncanny valley" applied to hands. I'm blown away by how real this looks.
"Doctors could be trained to perform surgery in a virtual environment"
I was staring in disbelief until the computation times were mentioned, but this is still a marvel to behold. I can't wait for the next advancement or two. 🙏
Imagine playing a game with this and seeing your hands dismorph like that. The potential for body horror is endless.
I was an early adopter of the leap motion as well as VR, seeing these improvements just BLOWS MY PAPERS AWAY. It may not be even close to real time, but it is incredibly impressive and we're well on the right track.
Isn't it way cooler to be alive while all the cool stuff is being created than living when we'd take it for granted
This could be useful for animators that are already used to spending hours to render each frame
"This seems like a nightmare for any hand reconstruction algorithm."
dang, i was really hoping i could finally have a virtual hand-washing simulator :(
Karoly, your optimism and passion is so refreshing in the current state of everything. Thanks so much for this channel and all the effort you put into it.
We need hardware acceleration for this kind of software ASAP 😍 that's going to be the future of vr (as soon as we can have it in real time 😅)
This is so good. This is the first time I've found videos from a guy who's at the absolute cutting edge of his field, sharing everything as it happens. I feel like I've learned more about the state of the art in the last five minutes than I ever knew before.
This really makes me appreciate the ultimate realism of the physical world.
Absolutely amazing! I can't wait until you can accurately render virtual me sitting at a terminal coding for 8 hours a day and unwinding by playing Zelda II on an NES emulator in my emulated OS on my emulated computer in my virtual reality
Why did I think the cost would be cutting off my hands
As a game designer I can't wait till VR games use this so I can mess around with it and see how it works
