Researchers have developed detailed 3D models revealing hidden heat beneath Greenland and northeastern Canada, which influence the ice sheet's response to climate change and could impact future sea level rise predictions by improving understanding of Earth's internal structure and ice-earth interactions.
BBC's upcoming series 'Human' features highly accurate 3D models of four early human species—Homo floresiensis, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and early Homo sapiens—using advanced imaging and fossil data to explore our evolutionary history over 300,000 years.
European AI researcher Matthias Niessner has raised $13 million to develop advanced 3D environment generation models from text prompts, aiming to create interactive, photorealistic 3D worlds with potential applications in gaming, entertainment, and real-world simulations. The startup SpAItial, founded by Niessner and a team of experts, seeks to license its technology for various downstream uses, focusing on quality and interactive 3D spaces, with the ambitious goal of enabling anyone to create their own video game in minutes.
Best Buy has launched a new "Envision" app for the Apple Vision Pro headset, allowing customers to preview and explore various tech products in their living spaces through 3D models. The app includes a wide range of items such as TVs, appliances, computers, and furniture, with access to product ratings and pricing, and the ability to make purchases through the Best Buy website. The Envision app is available for free from the Vision Pro App Store.
