Intelligent eyewear is coming this fall! โœจ It was a privilege to be onstage at #GoogleIO to show our new audio glasses with #Gemini and share a first look at two designs from the upcoming collections. Iโ€™m incredibly proud of our team and the partnership with @SamsungMobile and iconic eyewear brands @WarbyParker and @_GentleMonster_ to bring hands-free help to your everyday life.

Meet D4RT ๐ŸŽฏ A unified model for next-gen scene reconstruction and tracking. ๐Ÿง  The Secret Sauce: Incredible results thanks in part to diverse, realistic synthetic data from our team. The results are wild. ๐Ÿคฏ
We're helping AI to see the 3D world in motion as humans do. ๐ŸŒ Enter D4RT: a unified model that turns video into 4D representations faster than previous methods - enabling it to understand space and time. This is how it works ๐Ÿงต

It turns out that a synthetic-only face prior is great for novel view synthesis ๐Ÿฆพ. If you're heading to SIGGRAPH Asia ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต, don't miss Cแด€๊œฐแด„แด€. Great work, @mc_buehler!
A purely synthetic face prior can generalize to casual in-the-wild captures and stylized faces ๐Ÿคฏ I'm happy to share our @SIGGRAPHAsia paper โ€œCafca: High-quality Novel View Synthesis of Expressive Faces from Casual Few-shot Captures.โ€ syntec-research.github.io/Caโ€ฆ
