a real-time interaction with Celestia Borealis, a multimodal multicasting holographic agent, exploring topics such as Brazilian coffee culture and capoeira movements. This demonstration forms part of an ongoing research collaboration with the VISGRAF Laboratory, focusing on advanced human-machine interfaces and embodied AI communication. @visgraflab @vfxr.io
Simulated conversational multimodal agents interact within a network architecture, mimicking a casual bar chat. But what happens when the dialogue turns to abstract concepts?

The omnipotence of the machine in Metropolis (1927) ⚙️✨ One of the greatest examples of German expressionism in cinema, this scene uses chiaroscuro and monumental composition to show the dominance of technology over humanity. A visual icon that still inspires cyberpunk aesthetics and reflection on the future of AI. #expressionistcinema #metropolis1927 #ArteETechnology
Metropolis?This model is a futuristic reimagining of Maria, the iconic Maschinenmensch from Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). Blending sleek robotic aesthetics with expressive movement, it embodies the fusion of past and future-where classic cinema's vision of artificial intelligence meets the fluidity of modern digital sculpture.A tribute to one of the most influential sci-fi films ever made, this piece explores how AI and robotics continue to shape our artistic imagination.#Metropolis #MariaDroid #SciFiArt #DigitalSculpture #AIandArt #Futurism
Ex Machina - 2014 #OscarIsaac said he based his characterization of Nathan on Bobby Fischer and #StanleyKubrickwho he sees as mysterious, elusive geniuses. The now iconic look of the latter also served as an inspiration for his beard.-In a 2016 interview, #AliciaVikander named this as her favorite film she's been part of to date.-Its Academy Award win for Best Visual Effects was widely considered an upset, as most prognosticators considered it an outlier and Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) was heavily favored to win. Most trade publications in their post-ceremony coverage theorized its unexpected win was caused by strong support from the acting wing of the Academy, given the performance-centric nature of the visual effects.-Ex Machina
Celestia Borealis as real as it gets a multimodal multicasting production. #staytuned #digitalhumans #unreal #AI #GPT
Stay tuned... Celestia Borealis a realtime hologram - powered by a multimodal multicasting production.

Celestia Borealis is evolving. More than just an AI agent, she is a state-of-the-art hologram, redefining digital presence beyond conventional models. Our Multimodal Multicasting system now enables Celestia to express emotions in a remarkably natural way. This experiment integrates real-time interaction with Unreal Engine, allowing her to see us as we see her. A step closer to seamless digital-human communication.#seeyouseeme #celestiaborealis #hologram #multimodalmulticasting #unrealengine #AI #digitalhumans #visgraf # VFXRIO Visgraf Lab VFXR.io OpenAI Microsoft Azure Target Unreal Engine Unity Google DeepMind @lvelho Matteo Moriconi Jan Habib
Stay tuned! 🎯 @visgraflab Realistic Smiling Avatars, SIGGRAPH, and AsiaHallison Paz (IMPA)Wednesday, February 5, 2025, 13:30 - AUDITORIO 3In this talk, I will present the paper "The Teeth, the Lips, the Tip of the Tongue: LTT Tracking," published at the recent SIGGRAPH Asia conference in Tokyo, Japan. This work is the result of a collaboration with Meta's Codec Avatars team, from Pittsburgh (USA), where I worked as a Research Scientist Intern in 2022. Additionally, I will share my experiences attending SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 and reflect on my adventures exploring the other side of the world.Live@ www.youtube.com/live/BUq1oXYgYzs?si=wZI6_empv_POuC7w
Real-Time Celestia Borealis a groundbreaking multicasting multimodal agent designed to engage seamlessly in conversations with both humans and non-humans, whether as an advanced AI or a lifelike hologram. @visgraflab @lvelho @matteo_moriconi @janhabib1111

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) a source of great inspiration combining creativity with rigorous mathematics to imagine something no one could - a machine capable of not just calculating numbers, but weaving patterns of thought, music and art. Her collaboration with Charles Babbage on the analytical engine laid groundwork for modern computing, and her visionary notes contained the first algorithm written for a machine - making her the world's first computer programmer. What if Ada Lovelace walked among us today? #lovelace

Exhibition - I Want to Be a Machine

Define VFXRio Lunapark Metaverse Experience: From a comic book page to Virtual Reality, a metaverse designed by Matteo Moriconi. This essay introduces the ideas and semiotics behind this virtual world. Moriconi calls on influences from Warhol to Roy Lichtenstein, from science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem to sci-fi film Inception, from Giorgio Vasari to Jean-Paul Sartre to explore the invention, the concept, behind his new metaverse, which is populated with artworks and structures that he created through the AI platform, Midjourney.

This three-part essay will take a look at the history of metaverses. Part One examines metaverses in the history of art and thought.Part Two looks at how popular culture pulled audiences from outside the entertainment box to deep inside it, as well as how and why science-particularly virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). Part 3 looks at humanizing avatars, virtual versions of ourselves.
