Working on human models? Don't miss this great work by @MeghShukla, developed during his time as a student researcher on our @Google #AndroidXR team!
If you use SAM 3D Body for digital humans, robotics, or video generation, we have a cool new plugin for you: CLUE! CLUE is an easy-to-use plugin (3 lines!) to make SAM 3D Body probabilistic, providing per-vertex uncertainty! Details, Hugging Face Demo and other stuff in🧵

For all the football (soccer) fans out there, our XR team partnered with Google DeepMind to reconstruct Pelé's legendary 1959 "lost" goal! ✨ By leveraging our Performance Control and GNM Prediction (THFM) technologies, we brought this historic, unfilmed moment back to life. Read the full story: blog.google/innovation-and-a… And on a related note, we also just released GNM to the public to empower third-party developers to build their own technology that natively meshes with Android XR’s perception tech stack. Find the code, demos, and how to leverage this technology here: github.com/google/GNM. I’m incredibly proud of our team's work to push the boundaries of XR, and excited to see our developer community expand upon this impactful work. #AndroidXR #Gemini #GoogleDeepMind #Pele1959

Here's the video of the Android XR demo we showed last week at MWC :) Couple things that stand out to me: how well Gemini can handle vague and complex queries and how the glasses work with apps on the phone. 😎 More details here! reddit.com/r/AndroidXR/comme…

Here’s Philipp Schindler taking our glasses for a spin. Always energizing demoing to him and some fun use cases for #geminilive and #androidxr glasses!
#GeminiLive in #AndroidXR glasses = game changer! Way beyond “traditional” smart glasses. Played w/them. Coached me on my basketball game (or lack of 🤣). #GoogleFlow #Veo3 generated a first-of-its-kind walking lifeguard tower. Can’t wait to get these to more people & businesses!
