• Refik Anandol | Media Artist and Director, Refik Anadol Studio, LLC

Refik Anadol, the director of Refik Anadol Studio in Los Angeles, presents his team’s latest project from the studio’s multi-year research unit: Machine Hallucinations. Machine Hallucinations is ongoing AI research of data aesthetics based on collective memories of space, urban life, and nature since 2016. The project currently focuses on StyleGAN2 with adaptive discriminator augmentation (ADA) as well as a Latent Space Browser — custom software by Refik Anadol Studio that's been in development since 2007. Using StyleGAN2 ADA to capture the machine’s "hallucinations" of modern art in a multidimensional space, the teamtrained a unique AI model with subsets of the archive of MoMA’s collection of artworks, creating embeddings in 1,024 dimensions.

Recently available high-end head-mounted displays (HMDs), such as the Varjo XR-3, feature exceedingly high display resolutions, making it challenging to drive them at high enough frame rates for a smooth VR experience. This gets particularly difficult in virtual prototyping applications due to the high complexity of engineering datasets. See how NVIDIA AI-based Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology helps to produce crisp high-resolution images from lower-resolution input, suited for display on advanced HMDs. Also, explore how DLSS enhances both ray-traced and rasterized images, rendered with OptiX 7 and Vulkan in a dual-GPU setup.

The enormous and underserved market for people with disabilities is ripe for innovation and disruption. Inclusive design puts usability by the largest number of people — including those with disabilities — at the very heart of the creative process. WPP is a world leader in working with global brands to make the products we use every day more accessible, and has partnered with NVIDIA and New York University to simulate grip and mobility in real time to allow design concepts to be tested virtually in a faster and more iterative way. 3D printing, and testing prototypes within the disability community, remain fundamental, but advanced soft-body and joint physics in Omniverse allow for truly groundbreaking new workflows in product design.
