AI and robots may be what you expect from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). But what happened in January has passed. This month, the machine will host a completely different conference, the annual NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show. The event began as a place for broadcasters to discover and share the latest tools in the industry, but has morphed as the industry it serves has changed. Yes, broadcasters still participate in his NAB, but in 2024 content creators who have found their audience on the web will reign at the top of the hierarchy of those who have found their compatriots at conferences. .
So why Android Activities? It’s a mystery. Machine learning technology has become a hot topic, and so-called “AI” has been introduced into various technologies. “Robot” is visually appealing and still has that wow factor, but what does it have to do with broadcast technology and content creation on his NAB show on Monday? I didn’t get an easy answer to my question. But while Android may grab the headlines, beneath the surface, it was previously intended to change the scope of content creation and prepare its introduction to a completely different audience: the general public. There is an undercurrent of newly accessible technologies.
Anyone who’s ever held a spatial computing or 3D VR device up to their eyes knows that there’s a big difference between the everyday content you see on your TV or phone and what you see on a headset. . You can host intimate, immersive experiences that aren’t possible with standard screens. Content creators have long had access to lenses and cameras that can create these experiences, but now viewers and creators are beginning to converge. Imaging, who has been at the forefront of camera equipment for the better part of 90 years, has spoken with officials at Canon, a solutions company, and the company’s 3D VR technology is ready to be introduced to a new user base. It became clear that it was in place.
Canon officials believe their stereoscopic solution is an excellent way to capture family memories in a personal way not previously available. A stereoscopic image created by combining two photos or videos of her taken from slightly different angles creates a sense of depth, or a 3D image. As 3D VR solutions such as the Meta Quest headset and Apple Vision Pro become mainstream parlance, Canon is reorienting its message about its 3D solutions from professionals to consumers.
Japanese camera company officials argued that with the technology now available, it’s not unreasonable to imagine someone wearing a headset and being taken into a family video. . A new take on everyone’s old VHS tapes of family events, these immersive videos were later (for better or worse) replaced by short vertical clips that resided on our mobile devices. , could offer a new dimension to dusty video ideas. An old family movie. Rather than feeling like you’re watching past events, you’ll feel like you’re actually there. It’s like a digital Pensieve for those familiar with the Harry Potter world.
These immersive memories are made possible by more available technology from Canon. In fact, the company’s EOS VR system is already available, allowing individuals to capture stereoscopic images at 8K (that is, eight times the resolution of high-resolution images) using cameras currently on sale. You will be able to do it. But not resting on its laurels, Canon has unveiled a prototype version of its handheld stereoscopic camera that provides a lightweight solution for 3D VR video creation. At the time of NAB, there was no official word on pricing or availability for this new camera. It promises to be an affordable solution to capturing family memories in a way not previously available to mainstream audiences.
Not content with simply creating VR tools for creators and consumers, the company is also enabling channels to create interactive, VR-friendly sports broadcasts using “volume video technology” that is integrated into sports venues. We also demonstrated the technology to
The future of these new developments is still unclear, but with new use cases for available equipment and renewed interest in the growing use of VR and spatial technologies, NAB 2024 promises to help people enjoy entertainment and It was a glimpse into new ways to create memories in the environment. Too Far A Future — Staying a safe distance from robots and machine learning.
