@robbiebloxer @babylonjs @threejs We have to get away from saying AI built this. AI is a tool and it makes creating software hundreds of time faster. Coding is no longer a prerequisite for building software. Humans input is still require of the output is to be used by humans. For now at least..

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

@96ToyotaTacoma @voxonphotonics Yes, we’ve been at this for a while and optimisation is one of our key strengths. We also just enabled rendering direct from Unreal Engine. So that allows us to tap into raytracing, nanite etc

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

@XorDev Good question. The API handles the rendering via a DLL which has a draw batch voxel function. We do a lot of coding in c# and I have transcoded glsl into c# for shadertoy demos. The sdk is on our website if you want to try ! Would love to see what you can do!

@96ToyotaTacoma @voxonphotonics Standard gaming laptop is fine. The display runs from usb 3.0

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

@jakefuss7 @voxonphotonics Yes you can. We support Unreal Engine and Unity

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

@aakashrtd @voxonphotonics It’s a volumetric display. We are rotating a led matrix at 900rpm and rendering 7500 cross sectional volume slices per second. It’s like a 3D printer for 3D visuals.

@_bryantmejia @voxonphotonics Yes, please have a look at https://t.co/hh8xqFXJgo

@_bryantmejia @voxonphotonics Thanks! Yes please see our website for details.

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

@LarryPanozzo @voxonphotonics Yes, fidelity will improve. Transparent OLED displays are too slow. We are running at around 7500 fps..

With all the buzz about virtual real estate, remember that when you buy a house in the real world, it comes with a patch of land beneath it. If your house is stolen, hit by a meteorite, or lightning..or gets sucked into a tornado..the land is still yours.

@MystistStudio @voxonphotonics The VX1 projects around 4000 images per second onto a very fast-moving surface. Each image is a slice of a 3D scene. It's literally a 3D printer that uses light as a material.

@elonmusk could you synchronize the blinkers of all #tesla cars? It would have no purpose whatsoever except for being cool.

Logmented reality

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

Technology should enhance creativity and understanding, it should entertain and inform, it should be inclusive and easy to understand, it should communicate ideas and start conversations, but most of all, it should bring people together and put a smile on their faces.

Although Kim's dress looked pretty black in the dressing room, it was no match for Anish Kapoor's Vanta Black birthday suit.

@elonmusk Will Tesla's fart mode be included in the upcoming #teslabot ? It's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned...

@rabovitz I'm guessing that because you are on the bleeding edge, this is AI....and probably the result of a similar AI that I used to create this image from the text input "clown playing tennis"

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

@rabovitz With the drive towards realistic digital avatars, ironically, only those who can perfect imperfection will cross the uncanny valley. Humans are flawed which is what makes them interesting and unique.

[Gavin Smith @gavinfsmith]

What better way to use the incredible "VQGAN+CLIP AI based text to image generator" than to visualise the nightmares you had as a child.....

This one was generated using the text "a clown eating spaghetti". Sweet dreams...
