NVIDIA AI turns reality into virtual reality (one step closer to the matrix)

Seems that an idea I wrote on the proverbial napkin a few years back that posed the following question:

"I wonder if you could get AI to look at GTA V game footage, and then after being trained what it should look like in real life, could the AI apply reality, onto the 3d game engine"

Well, folks, NVIDIA researchers are on it, after training AI on roads, buildings, cars etc they have managed to make the AI generate "reality" on top of a rudimentary Unreal Engine environment. This is all early stages, but the possibilities are endless, and a true precursor to the matrix future.

Just think about it, in the future there won't be ray tracing, raster or any other "traditional" graphics engines, or cuda cores, there will be Neural Networks that generate images indistinguishable from reality running on Tensor cores,

Wow - deep learning graphics!
I hope I get to see this applied in visual simulation soon. It looks like a serious future, and will have a lot of graphic developers scared.

Actually, this is the only real way I envisioned how direct neural interface VR would work in the future if we do eventually manage to have a direct to brain VR technology, traditional engines won't work here, however, Neural Net generated imagery could be more compatible with biological neural interfaces.

I hope this AI business doesn't start branching into VR Porn otherwise I'll start seeing these Porn actresses telling me to fuck off or they'll phone the police. 😞

I have never been a fan of the aspiration for "neural imaging" - having had laser-light directly shot into my eyes by one of the earliest HMD's, I was always concerned by the "limiters" that would be needed for future applications. However, what you say is how I too see this emerging - once the AI can create a visualisation that can pass the blood-brain barrier then we really will have the first "dream machine"!

This is really amazing. Maybe AI can fill in the details to create photorealistic VR worlds one day. 

Also, consider how AI can be used to enhance the behavior of NPC's to be more realistic.

This tech already means that video cctv is no longer permissible in a court unless confirmed to be the person by the accused themselves by tricking them.

Let's be careful of racial generalisations. Thanks.

Just asking mods, are jokes aloud here if they are obviously jokes? I mean, it's very hard to not be offended if we wish to be now is it when a joke is given. A few mods still use memes as jokes. I don't wish to live without humour. OK?

Some friendly advice, mate. You brought up "rape" and "asians" in the last 24 hours. Maybe take a step back for awhile? Your contributions to troubleshooting and even music are good. Would hate to see you get banned for unnecessary remarks. Na' mean?
