Talk 1: Massive scale 3D generation for e-commerce
Humans have evolved to interact with and understand our 3D world. 3D interfaces are hugely appealing and intuitive to us, but right now the web is stuck in two dimensions. The main barrier to widespread use of 3D is the enormous cost and time required to build 3D content. While it takes less than a second to capture an image, it can take from hours to weeks to create a 3D model. ZEG.ai envisions a future web powered by 3D content. To realise this, a paradigm shift away from tedious, manual content generation is needed. We are building a technology where 3D versions of real objects can be instantly created using natural and intuitive inputs: 1) a single photograph, 2) speech or textual descriptions or 3) inference from spatial context. On-demand 3D creation at affordable prices unleashes new opportunities for E-commerce, XR, and games.
