Open Sensing and Universal Animation Push Perception Research Toward the Physical World
An open sensor platform and a body-fitting-free neural animation model show research groups building the components for embodied and 3D-aware systems.
Two research releases point in the same direction: giving models a richer understanding of the physical, three-dimensional world. OctoSense is described as an open-source sensor platform combining stereo RGB and event cameras, LiDAR, a ther…
