The future is here, HMS Core demonstrates the value of meta-universe landing

When you sit at home, have you ever imagined that a digital avatar will participate in a distant meeting for you; the beautiful scenery in the distance can be directly projected in front of you through AR; the distance between people is due to various imaging technologies and new interaction modes And change...

If you ask what kind of world this is, the answer is already clear-the meta universe. Of course, the industry has not yet reached a conclusion about what the metaverse is. However, based on the level of science and technology in 2021, the meta-universe concept should at least cover many technical theories such as three-dimensional modeling, VR, AR, audio and video interaction, and artificial intelligence.

On October 22nd, at the 2021 Huawei Developer Conference, we saw the possibility of Meta Universe landing in all aspects. , President of Huawei Consumer Business Cloud Services and Huawei Cloud CEO, officially released HMS Core 6 1617b63c299401 and opened many new capabilities. These capabilities have a broad application space, and can provide a great help to the current ultra-hot meta-universe landing. It can be said that the meta-universe has opened up the sky for people to imagine the future, and the HMS Core 6 is facing the sky. A bridge was built.

meta-cosmic fire, new technologies are in urgent need of carriers

How popular Meta Universe is this year can be learned from various forums, technological trends, and investment trends. This year, many companies announced that they have begun to work on the concepts related to the universe. The social giant Facebook announced that it will invest billions of dollars in the development of the universe. 2021 is also defined as the first year of the universe.

In such a torrent of times, Huawei does not change its true nature. In this HDC2021, Huawei’s newly released HMS Core 6 has in 1617b63c299490 object modeling, light and shadow dynamic effects, and physical special effects , and has successively added or enhanced 3D modeling, AR engine, graphics calculation, and graphics engine. and other capabilities provide a magic weapon for users' digital immersive experience. It should be understood that these technologies are not only the basic technologies for constructing the digital world, but also play a vital role in promoting the development of the metaverse.

The HMS Core 6 released this time not only supports full scene , multi-terminal , but also supports multi-operating system , which can cover almost all mobile application developers. At the same time, " all-encompassing " has also become synonymous with HMS Core 6. Its gradual opening of more and more capabilities allows all developers to integrate Huawei's innovation capabilities, allowing users to enjoy a consistent experience across different terminals.

Of course, the development of new technologies has been integrated, but artificial intelligence will still be the leader in the new generation of technologies. machine learning service (ML Kit) created by HMS Core is the master of the intelligent age. It not only provides AI capabilities such as graphics and images, speech language, human face, text and natural language, but also that can be generated according to application requirements. When developers have smart technology in their hands, they will not only upgrade the current stage of the intelligent connection of all things, but also allow users to experience faster and more convenient services. In the future, if the era of the meta universe arrives, artificial intelligence technology and machine learning services will become the paintbrush in the hands of developers, embellishing more innovative and fantasy colors for the new era.

reality and virtuality, a breakthrough in image and vision

Intelligence promotes the acceleration of the world, and new interactions make the meta-universe possible. HMS Core has opened up 7 capabilities in the field of graphics and images, building a bridge between virtual and reality for developers, and creating a digital twin world that can have a new interactive mode.

Judging from the existing meta-universe construction model, virtualization and diversified interaction are two very important steps. But just the first of these two steps may persuade countless people. The author once had the privilege of visiting the VR version of the museum. There are about 20 exhibits in the VR museum. According to the staff, the system construction and related development work of the museum can actually be completed in a few days. In terms of 3D modeling, They spent 3 months.

HMS Core released 3D Modeling Service (3D Modeling Kit) , through the self-developed 3D reconstruction algorithm, using AI object segmentation and high-precision densification, high-precision texture mapping and other technologies, users’ virtual modeling problems and thresholds can be achieved significantly reduce. You only need to use an RGB camera to automatically generate 3D geometric models and textures of the object by shooting multiple images of the object from different angles, helping developers to achieve efficient production of 3D digital content. The 3D modeling service can not only help the 3D modeling of ancient cultural relics quickly, but also help the scene appearance production of games, film and television and other fields that require a large amount of realistic material appearance and texture materials.

In the past, the interaction mode between the user and the computer was realized through a window. This interaction mode has a single device and a single expression, resulting in a relatively single user experience. The HMS Core AR Engine can provide high-precision and high-performance geometric intelligence. Through the SLAM capability, it can complete 4K precision face and human bone recognition and tracking capabilities. At the same time, AR Engine provides ambient light estimation algorithms, combined with the rendering engine to support realistic unified lighting effects of virtual and real, to achieve deep integration of virtual and real, so that the existing VR animation sense disappears, and the user's real immersive experience is improved.

To truly make the meta universe feel like the real world, many technical problems need to be overcome. Existing AR/VR devices generally have a problem, that is, the dimension wall has not really broken. Virtually presented images are subject to the dual limitations of equipment and technology, resulting in the final image being very different from reality. graphics engine service (Scene kit) provided by HMS Core uses its own patented RT intersection algorithm. The magic of the algorithm lies in its ability to generate physically accurate shadows, accurate reflection and refraction of global illumination. This is of great significance to the immersive experience. With the help of ray tracing technology and the RT intersection algorithm, every light in the 3D virtual world can be clear and natural. The lake, the light and the mountains are in harmony, and there is no goggles on the surface of the lake. In the world of the meta-universe, you can also achieve one step at a time.

The superposition of infrastructure and innovation makes the future full of possibilities

The emergence of Meta Universe is not just a technology stacking. On the one hand, it can help ordinary users to upgrade their interactive experience. On the other hand, it can also enable more people who have not yet enjoyed the Internet dividends to become the "Meta Universe natives" in the new era.

For the hearing impaired, the clone and body language of the meta universe can allow them to enter a more colorful world of the Internet. At the Huawei Developer Conference 2021, careful netizens should have noticed that there has been a digital person in the lower left corner during the entire conference live broadcast in sign language. This is the latest Huawei Sign Language Service (SignalPal Kit) released by HMS Core. This service is based on Huawei's self-developed pre-trained language model, machine translation algorithm and multi-modal digital human action generation algorithm, plus the finishing touch of sign language linguistics experts, to achieve coherent and natural sign language body postures, gestures and expressions The generation.

Of course, digital human sign language is a typical information output, and it may take time to truly form a virtual interaction. However, at least we can see that this future is not far away.

In the previous stage, a major limitation of VR/AR development was network latency. Unlike ordinary devices, if the device delay problem cannot be solved, it will not only bring the user experience deterioration, but also dizziness, nausea and other problems. wireless transmission service (Wireless Kit) provides developers with complete wireless communication transmission capabilities. Through customized 5G+Wi-Fi communication solutions, it can help developers solve low-speed, high-latency, and connection problems. Network issues such as stability.

On the whole, the launch of HMS Core 6 at this conference is not only aimed at the core difficulties of current mobile developers, but also laid a solid foundation for the arrival of a new era in the future. We can see the context of the development of the times, but it is not easy to grasp its direction in depth, but the geek spirit is to be dissatisfied with the status quo, dissatisfied with authority, and continuous innovation and exploration.

The explosion of technology is disorderly. Cloud-native, blockchain, VR/AR, AI, 5G... cutting-edge technologies are always erupting and moving forward separately, and when the technologies are intertwined, new fields and concepts come into being. The developers are the people who promote their interweaving.

The emergence of Meta Universe in this era provides users with new experiences and new opportunities for developers. The HMS Core 6 also saw this opportunity, so Huawei chose to open up and chose to developer 1617b63c299771. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. Providing developers with more open tools and capabilities is equivalent to giving them weapons that can innovate. With HMS Core 6 as the cornerstone of innovation, developers can create massive new ideas and technologies. What they can create is by no means the only meta-universe. In the ocean of numbers and intelligence, it is also possible to create the entire universe.
