OpenCV Live

Join us this week for a presentation titled "Building the Next Generation of Synthetic Media," where Victor Erukhimov shows us how generative AI is reshaping the way digital humans and video content are created. The talk covers two products built by the team: Avatar SDK, a toolkit for generating photorealistic 3D avatars, and CraftStory, their GenAI-driven storytelling product. Viewers will learn about real-world deployments, including a 3D FIFA World Cup 2026 viewing experience built for the BBC in which every player was recreated as an Avatar SDK-generated avatar.

Autonomous drones only fly as well as they can figure out where they are. Drop one into a forest, a dense city, or a disaster zone, and that gets a lot harder — the signals they normally lean on just aren't there. This week we get into HUNT, a navigation approach built for exactly the places where the usual answers fall apart.

Our guest this week is Alireza Taheritajar, a Ph.D. Student an Augusta University focusing on In-Situ Intelligent Mixed Reality Assistants for Adaptive Human-AI Collaboration. Mixed-reality overlays have been around for awhile, but with the recent upgrades in camera quality, lens resolution, and processing power they are becoming more useful than ever. Join us for a look at some very cool research and development tech here on OpenCV Live.
