268 Million point 3D Planetary Height mapping on low-cost devices

3D Model terrains and planets in real-time with up to 28 million height points on mid-range hardware!
It allows terrains height data to be streamed directly to the GPU at 500 M/S/s.

Until today it has been impossible to real-time model planetary bodies such as the Moon and Mars in detail apart from using costly computer systems and complex software tools. Today Viva3D® solves this problem by using a novel GPU vertex compute method combined with dynamic LOD and Bézier tesselat...

Rapidly animate complex photo-realistic human models

Easy to use and real-time, Viva3D's animation system is fast and runs on low-cost platforms.

Animating photo-realistic human models for low-cost platforms

The 1st phase of Viva3D's animation feature has been completed, so the videos below provide a rough idea of the concept at this point.

http://www.sentel-advance.com/SampleVideos/videos

The idea is that anyone, including young children, can use Viva3D to create complex and realistic human model animation, adding deep learning to allow web cams to be used to capture more complex movements and facial expressions. Note: You can also animate anything, of any shape size or complexity.

We're hoping this will be of interest to the community, and to get feedback to help us develop this further.

Viva3D Pro easiest available animation system

Why is 3D animation always so complex? Maya, 3D Studio and Blender are all incredible apps, but trying to even set a character's pose is so complex!We´re hoping to change that with VivaPro, and release 1.003 now has model animation with click and drag ease.
Animating static objects or the most complex human models is now childs play, as it should be.
Version 1.004 will allow users to pose models as seem here, and build sets of key frames (key poses), which Viva will smoothly blend, giving what we hope will be an animation system everyone can use without any real training.

Viva3D is like a PowerPoint3D, but able to display the most complex models https://youtu.be/Z6pdaOg3Bas

12/30/2018

After several months of hard work, we are pleased to announce the completion of a range of major and unique advances that might just change the way digital AV content is created and used.

Text to speech now provides automated voice response to user interaction during content creation and presentation, with different voices and languages. 3D proximity activated speech output, and click-activated speech, make creating informative content easy. Double-click on part of a 3D model, enter the text, and when the user clicks on that area, a clear quality male or female voice presents the text. Fly-throughs can also trigger text to speech through proximity.

The team has also implemented A.I. for speech recognition and response, allowing designers and users to ask questions of literally any kind, without connection to the Internet, from "How many objects are in this scene?", to "Can you show me a new sky, or landscape, water surface, reflective surface, model..., and "Show me the tower model!", or "Show me the red car", or "Go to the entrance area!". The implications of this technology are wide reaching.

Voice navigation of complex scenes is now fully implemented with amazingly smooth effects. Users can say "Look to the left, or right, up, down", and Viva smoothly looks as requested until 90 degrees or the user saying Stop!
Users can say "Zoom in, or Go in, or Travel forwards then "Stop" as required. It makes navigating complex scenes a real pleasure compared to using a mouse.
The speech recognition model developed in-house gives an expandable platform to literally produce an amazingly intelligent voice user interface (VUI).

Full support for joysticks makes navigating scenes and making fly-throughs a pleasure, with automated smoothing of all movements. Unexpectedly, combing voice commands with a joystick gives an amazing level of control, use the joy stick to move around, then at an entrance point, say "Go in" and the camera moves forward smoothly. Then as the camera travels, say "Look left, and right!" and the camera pans smoothly as commanded, creating perfectly smooth presentations!

Viva3D now fully supports all Unicode fonts in 2D and 3D including now Arabic and Hebrew right-to-left script , with ligand joining. Arabic joins Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other scripts.

Loading massive models or scenes in error is no longer an issue, as loading can be cancelled instantly. This also allows complex 3D presentations to be more instantly controlled by the user without needing to wait for the computer to complete the task.

For installations needing robust 24x7 operation, automated recovery in 3D mode means that accidental monitor shut-down, disconnection or even entering sleep mode, is handled without manual or remote intervention.

Lastly fast ray-tracing simulation allows Viva to show off glossy car models in real-time on low cost devices from mobile phones, tablets and PCs under $100.
More information to follow.

RX Vega FireStrike Benches & Specs Leak | 'Fast & Cheap Like Ryzen' Says Leaker | Epyc Benchmarks

AMD BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES PUSHES OUT THE BOUNDARIES OF 3D AND AI

Photorealistic 3D requires incredibly powerful computing, but without AI, 3D visualisation lack the interactive capability needed for futuristic interactive 3D.

Here is a brief update on what's new, following AMD's fantastic Q2 results having taken 10% of Intel's market with Ryzen

"AMD Vega RX matches or beats NVidia GTX 1080 at much lower cost": https://youtu.be/oKOwl-bZ-Yw

As regards to AI and deep learning, AMD have already successfully ported over 99% of the NVidia deep learning code to their Instinct GPUs, so compatibility will not be a problem.

As Facebook have recently open-sourced their CAFFE2 deep learning code, that will also be available when using AMD GPUs.

Without competition, AI will not push ahead, nor will price drop enough to spread AI use. As such, AMD's massive investment in AI and deep learning is crucial to our societies.

"AMD took the Caffe framework with 55,000 lines of optimized CUDA code and applied their HIP tooling. 99.6% of the 55,000 lines of code was translated automatically. The remaining code took a week to complete by a single developer. Once ported, the HIP code performed as well as the original CUDA version."
https://instinct.radeon.com/en-us/the-potential-disruptiveness-of-amds-open-source-deep-learning-strategy/

"Today Facebook open sourced Caffe2. The deep learning framework follows in the steps of the original Caffe, a project started at the University of California, Berkeley. Caffe2 offers developers greater flexibility for building high-performance products that deploy efficiently."
https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/18/facebook-open-sources-caffe2-its-flexible-deep-learning-framework-of-choice/

New breakthrough AMD technology for advanced 3D and AI, including the Ryzen CPU's aimed at parallel processing, to the new AMD Instinct series of GPUs.

These offer superior power and facilities to NVidia and at least 30% lower cost, and have been designed to be ready for future AI computing needs, being much more scalable than NVidia technology.

Launched June 2017: "AMD's Radeon Instinct MI25 GPU Accelerator Crushes Deep Learning Tasks With 24.6 TFLOPS FP16 Compute"

"Considering that EPYC server processor have up to 128 PCIe lanes available, AMD is claiming that the platform will be able to link up with Radeon Instinct GPUs with full bandwidth without the need to resort to PCI Express switches (which is a big plus). As we reported in March, AMD opines that an EPYC server linked up with four Radeon Instinct MI25 GPU accelerators has roughly the same computing power as the human brain. "

AMD Ryzen 1700X Benchmarked, Beats Kaby Lake In IPC / Single-threaded Performance

Real-time 3D requires modern processors designed for parallel processing, so the release of Ryzen CPUs by AMD has been an exciting time but one fraught with negative news pushed by the competition, in this case Intel.
Ryzen breaks the performance and price barrier that Intel has maintained for too long, a near monopoly that has slowed the introduction of 3D in many areas, including education and digital signage.
Truth is that AMD Ryzen beats Intel even on the famous single core, or IPC tests, this has been confirmed by detailed benchmarking as you can read here: http://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-1700x-benchmarks-leaked-beats-kaby-lake-ipc/

New benchmarks for AMD's $399 8-core 16-thread Ryzen 7 1700X have just been leaked, showing it beating Kaby Lake per core and per clock.
