Builder here! We are inspired by ComfyUI.
I would say that although the form factors look similar, we are operating at a different abstraction level. ComfyUI focuses on components within the HuggingFace diffusers ecosystems and allow artist to recompose different workflow to come up with amazing visual effects.
We're trying to offer a way for people to recompose apps/apis with foundation models!
Not sure if they are planning on releasing this but you can mix a image2Nerf model (threestudio is a good repo for this) for the object 3d model, and an image2depth model like ZoeDepth to generate 3d background.
Need gaussian splatting integrated asap https://huggingface.co/blog/gaussian-splatting
Sensors quality does have something to do with it, but regardless, you won't be able to get the accuracy and consistency from GPS you need for localizing a self driving vehicle.
Unless you get a DGPS unit (super expensive and require 3k subcription from satellites) you get north of 1m accuracy.
Hey Oliver, congrats! What do you see as your unique competitive advantage against in a competitive fields filled with well funded giants.
Perceptiv founder here. Thanks for the support! Would love to talk to GoPro but we haven't been able to do that, so please talk to us if anyone has leads :) Great idea about live streaming! We're definitely trying to figure out how to do that.
In his case I think he gave up his personal stake for long term growth of the organization. He ended up still running the show there and I doubt he thinks about all the money he could have made if he keeps all those shares.
That seems to be the state currently, but you just never know. BufferBox, a YC alum, was bought out and subsequently dissolved within a couple of years despite their momentum before being acquired.
That being said, Google X operates very differently from rest of of Googleverse.
Sweet! Just wondering if there is any references to how the A.I onboard works? I have heard that the platform is semi-autonomous, with visual odometry for motion estimation, but could not find anything that describes the techniques in detail.
The hardware is pretty!
Would love it even more if they could use IR to measure BPM and body temperature, especially for the baby monitor application. Kinect 2.0 is doing it already.
