WAIC 2024 came to a grand conclusion today, with this year's venue 1.5 times the size of last year, and a variety of new and interesting projects are dizzying. In particular, the treasures of several major town halls projects have sparked heated discussions among visitors.
This year's exhibition is rich in content, covering a wide range of fields from artificial intelligence to the metaverse, attracting a large number of tech enthusiasts and professionals. The exhibition program is not only high-tech, but also very interactive.
For example, 360 Zhou Hongyi's digital human project can talk to Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360. The Miaoduo AI-generated UI shows how to quickly generate user interfaces through AI technology to improve design efficiency. The VR and AR metaverse experience zones allow people to immerse themselves in the fantasy world of virtual reality and experience the infinite possibilities of future life. The Future Tech 100 zone brings together the world's most cutting-edge scientific and technological innovations, showing the direction and trend of future scientific and technological development.
360 and Zhipu's AI digital human
At WAIC 2024, booth 360 showcased Zhou Hongyi's digital avatar. This digital human can not only imitate Zhou Hongyi's tone and demeanor, but also interact, think and answer questions.
360's digital human technology relies on the 360 intelligent brain model to generate a digital human with a "soul" by analyzing Zhou Hongyi's speech videos, public speeches, autobiographical books and other corpus. It not only reproduces Zhou Hongyi's way of thinking and life experience, but also has memory, personality and character. I happened to have someone who saw him asking about the "3Q War" of the year, but the answer was still a little dull.
In order to achieve high simulation, the 360 intelligent brain model uses advanced AI technology, which can dynamically adjust the content according to the context, showing emotions and reactions similar to those of real people. This digital person not only imitates Zhou Hongyi in language, but is also highly similar in demeanor and behavior.
In addition to Zhou Hongyi, Luo Yonghao's digital human "AI Lao Luo" also appeared at the exhibition, trained by Zhipu AI based on Luo Yonghao's corpus, able to interact with users 24 hours a day, and the audience can ask him questions about the cheats of bringing goods or chatting.
Myota AI-generated UI
At WAIC 2024, Motiff was the only design tool product to participate in WAIC, and its AI design tool showcased its powerful AI-generated UI capabilities, becoming a leader in the field of design tools.
Motiff was developed by Kanyun Software to unleash the productivity of designers. The tool integrates a variety of AI functions, including AI replication, AI layout, AI design system creation and maintenance, and AI consistency checking.
There is an endless stream of UI designers and product managers who come to experience and consult.
At the scene, Motiff demonstrated the process of creating a live app interface, real-time comment area and the implementation of green theme colors in response to the audience's needs, demonstrating the power of AI-generated UI. Users only need to enter a text description to automatically generate UI design artwork that meets their needs.
Motiff's self-developed graphics rendering engine supports smooth editing of up to 1 million layers, far exceeding other similar products. The AI Magic Box feature can quickly generate a complete UI based on sketches, further simplifying the design process.
Motiff has become a bright spot in the field of design tools, demonstrating the huge potential of AI technology in UI design.
Of course, this is not the only company that does AI design.
For example, I also saw Triple AI, which is one of the best at making 3D models, and DeepDesign, which focuses on mechanical 3D design.
VR and AR metaverse experience zone
WAIC 2024's VR and AR metaverse experience zone has attracted much attention, with rich interactive content and engaging content. Visitors will not only be rewarded for punching in, but will also be able to participate in a variety of fun and interactive programs.
HADO is a massively multiplayer versus AR game where players unleash and defend volatile balls in the field, and score to determine the winner. I met three schoolboy opponents, exhausted but still defeated.
Ice World is just as interesting, with players using AR devices to dodge the opposite snowball with cover while shooting at each other with the snowball in their hand. It's a highly interactive game that keeps you coming back for more.
Walking into the Van Gogh VR exhibition, wearing VR glasses, you will be immersed in the world of Van Gogh's painting style, talking to the people around Van Gogh and completing tasks and achieving achievements.
Also wonderful is the mysterious Giant Buddha VR exhibition, which will take you to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha.
In addition, Rokid, a manufacturer of VR glasses, brought a VR game of fighting monsters with Son Goku, as well as a VR game of archery. These projects allow visitors to experience the fun of immersive virtual reality.
Of course, there are several other VR and AR experiences, such as visiting Yu Garden and Wukang Road without leaving home, talking to Chinese mathematicians, and generating animations for idioms.
Whether it's a VR or AR experience, it's one of the best parts of WAIC 2024, and every project is impressive.
Future Tech 100专区
The Future Tech 100 zone at WAIC 2024, which provides a platform for startups to showcase and collaborate, attracted a large number of visitors. This zone brings together a variety of innovative projects that showcase the endless possibilities of future technologies.
The most crowded is the NONO cooking robot. This stir-fry machine uses AI to learn and simply clean the dishes to make delicious dishes and remember your taste preferences. The concept of food is still applicable in the era of AI.
AI-generated photos of encounters with forests and work photos are also popular. With just one daily photo, you can generate the desired photo or job search photo, saving time and money. The long queues are a testament to the popularity of this service.
Ji Xiaolan's Human Memory Project can record all the documents and become your exclusive memory database. It can be retrieved through natural language, just like an external memory bank that will not be forgotten.
In addition, there are projects such as AI window display and AI IP creation, which are equally impressive.
Industries across industries are using AI to innovate and improve efficiency. The Future Tech 100 zone is undoubtedly one of the most exciting parts of WAIC 2024.
WAIC 2024, which has just four days, has come to an end. Compared with last year's focus on learning, this year's focus is more on feeling and experiencing AI applications. I am very happy to be able to grow with domestic AI. Looking forward to seeing you again next year!
