This includes a feature: > Called “Free View,” this would allow someone who has a separate camera off-screen to seemingly keep eye contact with those on a video call. Am I the only one who thinks eye contact on video calls feels creepy? I think I would prefer this feature to remove eye contact on video calls rather than add it.
> they have managed to reduce the required bandwidth for a video call by an order of magnitude. In one example, the required data rate fell from 97.28 KB/frame to a measly 0.1165 KB/frame – a reduction to 0.1% of required bandwidth. A nitpick, perhaps, but isn't that three orders of magnitude? We've already seen people use outlandish backgrounds in calls, now it's going to be possible to design similar outlandish vie…
I mean taking away focus on things that doesn't matter in a virtual meeting such as: Where you are sitting - via Virtual Background Your daily hair style status or if you have a nose pimple - Via NVIDIAs AI showcased here. Would be great.
Though replacing yourself with a "digital" avatar I think takes away many of the benefits an actual live meeting provides.
I would imagine Apple doing this with FaceTime soon. Using their own NPU ( Neural processing unit ), you can now make FaceTime call with ridiculously low bandwidth. From the Nvidia example, 0.1165 KB/frame even at buttery smooth 60fps ( I could literally hear Apple market the crap out of this ), that is 7KBps or 56Kbps! Remember when the industry were trying to compress CD Audio quality ( aka 128Kbps MP3 ) down to 64…
What's this claim based on? Last I looked into FaceTime tech, they didn't do anything special - their quality comes from use of H.265 and the fact that iOS devices have good quality HW encoding blocks which provide good compression at low bandwidths.
FaceTime stream is usually also low motion / change so it's possible to achieve very good compression even with basic quality. Although they still don't quite match the quality of AV1 powered Google Duo on very poor connections.

You just need to connect GPT3, and the dialogue is taken care of. Lyrebird’s API will take care of the speech synthesis. Viola! My deep fake can stand in at meetings now while I code.
What I don't like about AI processed images is that they are not real. I can't go past the fact that I am not looking at the picture as it looks like in reality but somehow smart approximation of the world that is not necessarily true.
