Interactive sound simulation: Rendering immersive soundscapes in games and virtual reality
The audio-visual immersion of game engines and virtual reality/mixed reality has a vast range of applications, from entertainment to productivity. Physical simulation is required in these applications to produce nuanced, believable renderings that respond fluidly…
Interactive sound simulation: Rendering immersive soundscapes in games and virtual reality
In this webinar led by Microsoft Principal Researcher Dr. Nikunj Raghuvanshi, learn the ins and outs of creating practical, high-quality sound simulations. You will get an overview of the three components of sound simulation: synthesis,…
Phong Surface: Efficient 3D Model Fitting using Lifted Optimization
Realtime perceptual and interaction capabilities in mixed reality require a range of 3D tracking problems to be solved at low latency on resource-constrained hardware such as head-mounted devices. Indeed, for devices such as HoloLens 2…
Hope Speech and Help Speech: Surfacing Positivity Amidst Hate
Tackling online attacks targeting certain individuals, groups of people, or communities is a major modern-day web challenge. Research efforts in hate speech detection thus far have largely focused on identifying and subsequently filtering out negative…
Harnessing high-fidelity simulation for autonomous systems through AirSim
Robots and autonomous systems are playing a significant role in modern times, in both academic research and industrial applications. Handling the constant variability and uncertainty present in the real world is a major challenge for…
