Exploring the use of physical interfaces, depth, diffusion, and mixed reality.⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion

Quick one... Using depth to give volume and clip the background.⁣ ⁣ — Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion

Mixing flat and ‘3D’ snapshots to create a more immersive scene. The recording doesn’t quite capture the sense of depth on the heads—but in the Quest, it feels great.⁣ ⁣ —Mixed Reality + Diffusion to explore concepts, styles, and moods.⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Live-tweaking the depth displacement—Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype to explore concepts, styles, and moods.⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Early test run with freshly added depth estimation — Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype to explore concepts, styles, and moods.⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #Quest3

I’ve been using that same alleyway as a sandbox for years—now with the Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype to explore concepts, styles, and moods.⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype as a tool for exploring concepts, styles, and moods by transforming real-world surroundings into alternate realities.⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Exploring how the prototype can be used to research concepts and styles—by transforming snapshots and anchoring them back into the real world.⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #Passthrough #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Researching a darker mood with this one.⁣ ⁣ Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ #MixedReality #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Away for the long weekend visiting family…⁣ Once again using the Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype to transform the environment.⁣ ⁣ #MR #AI #Passthrough #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Wishing the grey weather would go away.⁣ ⁣ Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype using Quest Passthrough Camera API and SDXL Turbo.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ #MR #AI #Passthrough #StableDiffusion #Quest3

This time, my son had a Bob the Builder flashback with the Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype.⁣ ⁣ Using the Quest Passthrough Camera API and SDXL Turbo.⁣⁣ ⁣ #MR #AI #Passthrough #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Today my son took over the Mixed Reality + Diffusion prototype… First stop: Mario Kart.⁣ ⁣ #MR #AI #Passthrough #StableDiffusion #Quest3

In this iteration, I’ve added SAM 2 to our workflow to segment people. Lisa and I had fun testing it in our lab—striking poses in sequence, with our bodies precisely isolated for a refined Stable Diffusion effect.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #MR #AI #Passthrough #StableDiffusion #Quest3

Just updated my MR + Diffusion prototype to use Meta’s Passthrough Camera API. It’s a raw port for now; next, I'll focus on UX exploration. It’s now much easier to do a screen recording.⁣ #MR #AI #StableDiffusion

Daylight saving — Spring is coming — Mixed Reality + Stable Diffusion. #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #spring

I tried the XGrids Lixel L2 Pro thanks to skytech-drones-inc and XGrids. This LiDAR-based scanner is quite impressive. Here is a capture, rendered as 3D Gaussian splats, of the staircase of our building I captured while going up the levels. #gaussiansplats #3dscan #gaussiansplatting #digitaltwin

Mixed Reality + Stable Diffusion — Trying to escape the winter.⁣ ⁣ #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #Quest3 #madewithunity #montreal

MR + Stable Diffusion Patchwork ⁣ ⁣ #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #ComfyUI #Quest3 #Meta #MadeWithUnity

Quickly capturing a series of spatial snapshots, close to one another, of my surroundings, resulting in an alternate reality patchwork once processed through a Stable Diffusion workflow.⁣ The snapshots, not being perfectly aligned, create a sense of depth.⁣ #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #ComfyUI #Quest3

Got a bit trigger-happy capturing Mixed Reality snapshots — Captured images from the Quest 3 passthrough feed are processed in real-time with a Stable Diffusion workflow and displayed back on the Quest.⁣ ⁣ #MR #AI #StableDiffusion #ComfyUI #Quest3 #meta #madewithunity

[02/02] Took my MR Diffusion experiment outdoors in -23°C! Quick tests since I deployed the img2img Diffusion workflow on runpod_io. Even though it’s running on an RTX4090, perf. isn’t as on my local rig—in part b/c I'm in MTL while the server is in OR. #MR #AI #StableDiffusion

Continuing my exploration of the captures I’ve made using this 'Immersion Wall' format—this vertical triptych portal offers a different sense of depth and immersion compared to VR, which can feel isolating, or smaller formats like monitors or phones.⁣ ⁣ #gaussiansplatting #3dgs #unity3d #3dscan

Back to training alleyway datasets — 981 perspective images coming from a 360 video capture. #gaussiansplatting #3dgs

I'm planning to iterate on this soon... Earlier this year, I dove deep into an exploration revolving around the use of physical interfaces to feed and interact with a real-time img2img diffusion pipeline using Stream Diffusion and SDXL Turbo. #stablediffusion #realtime #ai

I think this is one of the datasets I've reprocessed most often for testing new features or ideas—219 photos of an alleyway in my neighborhood. #gaussiansplatting #3dgs
