<\/div>Creating a Virtual World<\/h2>
Video game designers routinely pour thousands of hours of labor into painstakingly creating complex 3D objects and environments. But that could soon become much less labor intensive, thanks to a new technique that dreams up trippy video games inspired by real life video.<\/p>
NVIDIA showed off new tech, which can produce compelling but glitchy gameplay based on real-life video footage, at the NeurIPS AI conference in Montreal.<\/p>
Artificial Reality<\/h2>
The algorithm isn’t quite<\/em> as impressive as it sounds. The virtual environment was still rendered using a traditional game engine<\/a>, but the graphics were produced by the AI.<\/p> The result: a playable video game demo that allows you to drive a car down a series of city blocks. It doesn’t sound like much, but it does suggest a future in which deep learning could be used to create studio-quality gaming content — making video games a lot easier to produce.<\/p> It’s an impressive use of machine learning technology, but the results aren’t quite photorealistic — at least yet. And to be fair, the demo was created by only one engineer at NVIDIA.<\/p> “It’s proof-of-concept rather than a game that’s fun to play,” Bryan Catanzaro, NVIDIA’s vice president of applied deep learning, told<\/a> The Verge<\/em>.<\/p> But it could take a while for this to actually be used by video game designers. Catanzaro tells The Verge<\/em> it could take decades until this kind of technology could actually be used in consumer video games.<\/p> READ MORE:<\/strong> Nvidia has created the first video game demo using AI-generated graphics<\/a> [The Verge]<\/p> More on AI rendering: Artificial Intelligence Is Automating Hollywood.
