September 24, 2024Can AI Save XR Collaboration? A Detailed Discussion with Gabe Baker
Gabe Baker is a former teacher and education researcher, who took the leap into immersive tech. He made Frame, a platform that makes it easy to communicate, collaborate, and create in 3D environments directly in the web browser, mobile and even VR headsets. The platform grew hosting hundreds of events and teams from Janssen, Microsoft, Trello and MIT. But recently he announced it is time for a radical change: Frame is evolving for the new AI era. In this interview, Gabe shared with me his honest feelings and tough learnings from the perspective of a real founder and gave down-to-earth answers to some very tricky questions:
With Mozilla Hubs, Altspace and Glue shutting down is there still a need for XR meeting and collaboration apps like Frame?
How is Apple and VisionPro approaching the web space?
How are big organizations using these 3D collaborative spaces

What is the vision of AI supporting collaboration and productivity in 3D spaces

September 10, 2024Experience 4D Gaussian Splats in VR: from Capture to Distribution
Gaussian splatting or for short G splats is the latest method to capture objects or entire complex 3D scenes using only a video. It falls under the category of Radiance Fields much like Nerfs but it's actually quite different: they are faster to train, you can achieve an unprecedented level of realism BUT have they lived up to the hype?
Today we will figure it out with Georgii Vysotskii, the co-founder and CEO of Gracia.ai a deep tech company specializing in the visualization of Gaussian splatting and redefining the way moments are captured and experienced…. Even in VR.
We will talk about
The story of Gracia and how they brought Splats to VR

A type of Gaussian splat you might not have heard about

The usecase unlocked by Gaussian splatting’s fast rendering speed

How they are tackling a key challenge when it comes to distribution
