(Patent) Nvidia, 단 한 장의 사진으로 실시간 3D 아바타를 생성하는 기술 특허 출원2D 이미지의 형태적 왜곡을 극복한 아바타 생성: 기존 단일 이미지 기반의 2D 워핑 기술이 지닌 측면 왜곡이나 안경, 모자 등의 소실 문제를 극복하고 단 한 장의 정면 사진으로 전방위 조작 가능한 3D 아바타를 실시간 렌더링하는 특허 출원.정체성과 질감 및 표정을 분리한 삼중 Tri-Plane 구조: 사용자의 얼굴을 정면 좌표계로 변환한 뒤 지오메트리, 표면 질감, 감정 표현을 각각 별도의 3차원 신경망 모델 Tri-Plane으로 인코딩 및 디코딩하여 원본 인물의 정체성을 훼손 없이 보존.사용자별 재...

Nvidia files patent application US 2026/0350914 A1 for generating a photorealistic, animatable 3D head avatar from a single 2D source photo.The system utilizes a three-branch neural framework based on tri-plane representations to separate facial identity, fine surface appearance, and motion expressions.Eliminates the need for per-subject retraining or dedicated 3D capture rigs, while preserving peripheral details such as hairstyles, glasses, and headwear patterns.Animating a still portrait into a dynamic talking head has long presented a vis...

Commercial aerospace is entering 2027 with strong momentum as industry revenue maintains double-digit expansion, driven by accelerating aircraft production and resilient aftermarket demand. According to a global research report by Accenture, titled Navigating the Next Phase of Aerospace Growth, worldwide commercial aerospace revenue is forecast to grow by 11.5 percent in 2027 following an estimated 13 percent increase in 2026. However, as the sector transitions from post-pandemic recovery into an execution-driven era, manufacturers, supplier...

Your next Amazon parcel may soon arrive accompanied by a high-tech gaze.

South Korea’s Demographic Crisis Sparks $4.1 Billion Premium Retail Boom for ‘Very Important Babies’.For decades, demographic forecasters have warned that South Korea’s world-record low birth rate represents an impending economic crisis, threatening to hollow out the workforce, strain pensions, and shutter schools nationwide. Yet within the nation’s luxury retail corridors and e-commerce platforms, the demographic winter has triggered an unexpected commercial phenomenon: a booming, multi-billion-dollar market for ultra-premium children...

Justin Mast’s life was changed by a cyborg plant.A few years ago, Mast was reading through some scientific literature when he stumbled upon research about a houseplant wired to a motorized stand. When the plant wanted more light, electrical signals flowed through the living tissues. A control board sensed the current and wheeled the plant closer to the light source.“I’m like, what the heck?” Mast told TechCrunch. “That was the entry to the rabbit hole for me.”Mast wound up partnering with Lee von Kraus, a neuroscientist who has worked...

In the mythology of ancient Scandinavia, Thor conjured electric currents directly from the atmospheric ether. In modern electrical engineering, however, pulling usable electric current from thin air has long been dismissed as the domain of speculative science fiction. Yet researchers have now engineered a device capable of doing precisely that—capturing the invisible electromagnetic hum shed by standard electrical wiring and converting it into continuous power for autonomous, battery-free sensors.Developed through a collaborative effort bet...

Columbia Sportswear is giving away a fully stocked survival bunker in “Don’t Panic Room”, a campaign by adam&eve\TBWA that asks outdoor enthusiasts to prove they have what it takes to survive.The idea taps into the fascination with Silicon Valley’s escape plans: underground shelters, remote estates and New Zealand boltholes where the ultra-rich hope to ride out catastrophe.With tech billionaires buying themselves an exit route, Columbia is offering someone else a shot at survival. The entry requirement is outdoor ingenuity rather tha...
