It showed someone participating in a group video call. But it only showed what the other people (who were not wearing headsets) look like. What does the Vision Pro user look like? Does it just use animoji or something?
EDIT: sounds like they render a realistic animated image of you, if I caught that correctly?
- gpm 3y agoThey've got a interior facing camera, they could make you a pair of floating eyeballs! Kidding, but also not, I imagine they make use of that camera for this somehow.
- numpad0 3y agoI'm suspecting they'll ask users to enroll/login with camera for IPD correction, then make a figurative Live2D model using that picture, interior camera and lip sync. Edit: and yep, your head is modeled and a doppelganger of you will show in calls.
- gpm 3y agoThey're talking about this now. Sounds basically like this, except 3d. They also have lips (using downwards facing cameras I guess).
- gnicholas 3y agoI wonder how this will work without the ability to capture full facial expressions. Can they extrapolate from the features they can see, to fill in the gaps of what they can't see? Or will tone of voice be sufficient to let people know when you're happy or upset? This could be the next generation of "tone gets lost in text".
- cassianoleal 3y agoFrom what they showed, it will be a reallistic-looking 3D avatar of yourself. It's quite into uncanny valley territory but it will likely improve over time. What they demoed looks a bit like a blurry deepfake.
- pdabbadabba 3y agoSuspiciously accurate! As they just explained on the stream, this is exactly how it will work.
- allenu 3y agoI thought that was funny as well. I suppose this is where the new "poster" feature comes in? They'll just see pre-recorded looped video of you?
- 40yearoldman 3y agoYour edit is correct. I was just going to reply. Your stream seems to be ahead of mine :(
- gnicholas 3y agoProbably because I'm just down the road from Cupertino. That's how the internet works, right?
- 40yearoldman 3y agoHere in Hillsborough. Your stream seemed to be a lot more than 5ms ahead. I think I was in a 4 or 5k stream. Whatever apples page delivers when on a 5k monitor I guess.
- theshrike79 3y agoYou use the front LIDAR to scan the depth map of your face while the actual cameras take pictures. Then they construct a virtual avatar out of that.
