Windows 10: Nvidia Research demos Prescription AR and Foveated AR headset

Brink · Jul 30, 2019

Get ready to dig in this week.

SIGGRAPH is here and we’re helping graphics professionals, researchers, developers and students of all kinds take advantage of the latest advances in graphics, including new possibilities in real-time ray tracing, AI, and augmented reality.

SIGGRAPH is the most important computer graphics conference in the world, and our research team and collaborators from top universities and many industries are here with us.

At the top of the list: ray tracing, using NVIDIA’s RTX platform, which fuses ray tracing, deep learning and rasterization. We’re directly involved in 34 of 50 ray tracing-related technical sessions this week — far more than any other company. And our talks are drawing luminaries from around the industry, with four technical Academy Award winners participating in NVIDIA sponsored sessions.

Beyond the technical sessions, we’ll be showcasing new developer tools, and giving attendees a first-hand look at some of our most exciting work. One great example is NVIDIA GauGAN an interactive paint program that uses GANs (generative adversarial networks) to create works of art from simple brush strokes. Now everybody can be an artist.

Never been to the moon? A stunning new demo virtually transports visitors to the Apollo 11 landing site using never-before-shown AI pose estimation that captures their body movements in real time. This all became possible by combining NVIDIA Omniverse technology, AI and RTX ray tracing.

The story behind all these stories: our 200-person strong NVIDIA Research team — spread across 11 worldwide locations. The group embodies NVIDIA’s commitment to bringing innovative new ideas to customers in everything from machine learning, computer vision, self-driving cars, robotics, graphics, computer architecture, programming systems and more.

A Host of Papers, Talks, Tutorials

We’ll be leading or participating in six SIGGRAPH courses that detail various facets of the next-generation graphics technologies we’ve played a leading role in bringing to market.

These courses touch on everything from an introduction to real-time ray tracing, the use of the NVIDIA OptiX API, Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo sampling techniques, the latest in path tracing techniques, open problems in real-time rendering, and the future of ray tracing as a whole.

The common denominator: RTX. The real-time ray-tracing capabilities RTX unleashes offer far more realistic lighting effects than traditional real-time rendering techniques.

We’re also sponsoring seven courses on topics ranging from deep learning for content creation and real-time rendering to GPU ray tracing for film and design.

And we’re presenting technical papers that detail how our latest near-eye AR display demo works and take the next leap in denoising Monte Carlo rendering using convolutional neural networks — a cornerstone of AI — effectively using modern AI techniques to greatly reduce the time required to generate realistic images.

The Eyes Have It: Prescription-Embedded AR Display Wins Best in Show Award

You’ll be able to get hands-on with our latest technology in SIGGRAPH’s Emerging Technologies area. That’s where we have a pair of wearable augmented reality displays technology you need to see, especially if you don’t see very well without regular eyeglasses.

The first, “Prescription AR,” is a prescription-embedded AR display that won a SIGGRAPH Best in Show Emerging Technology award Monday.

The display is many times thinner and lighter and has a wider field of view that current-generation AR devices. Virtual objects appear throughout the natural instead of clustered in the center, and it has your prescription built right into it if you wear corrective optics. This much closer to the goal of comfortable, practical and socially-acceptable AR displays than anything currently available.

The second research demonstration, “Foveated AR,” is a headset that adapts to your gaze in real time using deep learning. It adjusts the resolution of the images it displays and their focal depth to match wherever you are looking and gives both sharper images and a wider field of view than any previous AR display.

To do this, it combines two different displays per eye, a high-resolution small field of view displaying images to the portion of the human retina where visual acuity is highest, and a low-resolution display for peripheral vision. The result is high-quality visual experiences with reduced power and computation.

TITAN RTX Giveway

Finally, NVIDIA is thanking the student volunteer community at SIGGRAPH with a daily giveaway of TITAN RTX while exhibit hall is open. These students are the future of one of the world’s most vibrant professional communities, a community we’re privileged to be a part of.

Ares

I have downloaded Ares and it always worked in the past. Now Ares connects and disconnects by itself. I have no control as to when it works. I've tried to delete the program and reinstall it and that doesn't work. I checked my firewall and that's not the
problem that I know of. I'm at a loss as to what I should do now.

Ares

Nothing has changed on my computer and there are no error messages. Is there any problems with Windows 10 that you know of concerning Ares or any other software?

AR-SA Language added automatically every restart

Thanks for the update. I've tried to replicate the issue but the AR-SR keyboard doesn't retain after a restart. Being said, it's possible that a software/program may cause the keyboard to re-enable. To
rule this out, try the method below:

First, remove the keyboard by re-adding the AR-SR language, and then select
Remove to remove the keyboard from the selection.

Once the AR-SR keyboard is removed, perform a clean boot by following the steps on the article provided in the previous post.

In clean boot environment, disable all startup programs by following the steps on the same article under the
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot section. Click the drop-down arrow to view the steps.

Once you're done, check if the AR-SR keyboard will still appear after a restart.

Looking forward to your response.
