Tokyo eight minutes creators: adding artificial intelligence is the point of my interest in AR

On November 6, Tencent We held in Beijing. Known as the digital artist, he was invited to participate in the event.

At the closing ceremony of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, a performance show made AR technology a hot topic. At that time, Lei Feng had published the article "Tokyo Eight Minutes" to make AR a hot search. How was it achieved? ", introduced the behind-the-scenes team of this AR show, but as for the scenes seen by the audience in front of the TV and the audience, it left us a question. During the event, the real pot unleashed the truth of the mystery and talked about his own understanding of AR and VR, and their attempts.

At the event, I really introduced myself to media artists, programmers, and designers. His first major was mathematics, and then he entered the art and software fields. Their team usually makes a lot of new attempts in their creations, such as installing some sensors on the body and watching how it works; exploring some technological innovations with cameras; and creating with AI technology.

Add CG facial effects

At the scene he showed their attempts at AR technology five years ago. For example, in your own photo, add CG, then use the camera to shoot, and finally combine the new picture. After that, they used the camera for seamless tracking and combined with CG using 3D scanning technology. The most typical example is a concert for Perfume at the South-Southern Music Festival in the United States. The audience can see the reality and the constantly changing images of CG.

Now, AR is their main direction, and they will also use drones to perform. At the beginning, three drones were used to let the actors come and dance together. Then, 24 drones were used indoors. The pot was frankly frank, they did not shoot the final product when they created it, first try it, then slowly increase the number of drones. They want to combine drones and people, and depending on the person's actions, the drone can follow the action to move.

In the final demo, they combine AR technology, drone shooting and CG, as well as actor dance.

He said, "AR technology is very interesting. The things that are originally conceived are very different from the final works." In the future, they will also join AI technology to further develop AR.

About "Tokyo Eight Minutes"

Before the We Conference, Lei Feng.com interviewed the avant-garde artist. He is honored to be able to participate in the design of the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics this year. "The Tokyo Metropolitan Organizing Committee invited me to be a member. It is a part of my work for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Japanese National Government."

At the closing ceremony, the audience in front of the TV and the scene saw a completely different effect.

"Before the TV, everyone can see the AR effect, it may be very unbelievable. If we don't do some very cool performances on the scene, the atmosphere is impossible, we also consider the very live effect."

Due to the signing of the confidentiality agreement, the real pot could not explain the difference in detail, but he revealed that he was very satisfied with the effect of the live production. "There is a glowing film-like feeling. The space composed by actors on the ground is through the TV. can not be seen."

No matter what kind of performance, the true pot will always let the performers fully express the effect they want to achieve.

“The general performers who work with me, I will let the actors take the initiative to say, casually, what effect do you want to achieve, don’t consider any technical obstacles. I don’t want to curb the actors’ own ideas because of technical obstacles. I hope to be able to use 100% of my technology to match their ideas."

About the combination of AR and art

The use of AR has brought new interpretations to past performances. In terms of the combination of AR and art, the truth is that the part that interests you is in the field of image processing technology. "For example, the table and cup that I see now, its image processing technology is still relatively simple. In the future, it may move in a direction very similar to artificial intelligence. If you use this method to deal with it, it will definitely be more interesting. The work comes out."

"AR technology, in fact, is mainly a camera, the camera is actually an image, and then add information on it, and then become an AR technology. In the past, a camera will be fixed, then you want these The content is put into the information. Now, it is equal to the camera can not be fixed there, you can use a smart phone to move from full angle of view. After that, the image table and cup inside can also follow you.

Then the next step is the part of artificial intelligence. You can tell this computer, there is a table, there is a cup on the table, and there is a person playing computer. This technology is actually not a very far technology, and now we can achieve it. If you use artificial intelligence to shoot these images and add information, the ultimate goal is to make these works. The things I want to make at that time will be very interesting. ”
