Niantic 8th Wall enhances WebAR with powerful GenAI modules
Niantic 8th Wall is enhancing its WebAR platform with generative AI (GenAI) modules to revolutionise augmented reality experiences.
The fusion of technologies promises to offer developers, brands, and agencies more creative potential and improve users’ augmented reality experiences.
Over the past few months, 8th Wall developers have harnessed the power of GenAI, integrating various cutting-edge GenAI technologies into the WebAR platform.
Current integrations include DALL·E and Stable Diffusion for text-to-image input, Blockade Labs for 360-degree image incorporation, Inworld AI for lifelike interactive characters, Hugging Face and ControlNet to add depth to facial expressions, and Move.ai and Wonder Dynamics for lifelike movement simulation.
To facilitate the adoption of GenAI modules for WebAR experiences, Niantic has introduced sample projects for Inworld and OpenAI.
