3D Map View can be used in all countries where SmartTings is available. It is characterized by being able to control smart home devices. It does this by collecting and rendering interactively through the 3D devices in the user’s property.

How does 3D Map View work?

The new 3D Map View uses AI and LiDAR sensors in Samsung devices. Among the sensors used is the Bespoke Jet Bot, which serves to produce a precise map of the home. In the SmartThings app and through the map of their home, users can see more clearly what their home looks like and what its shape is.

“Samsung is constantly working to enable customers to control their home devices without any inconvenience at any time and place, and Map View is the result of these efforts,” said Seungbeom Choi, Head of Device Platform Center at Samsung Electronics.

The improved map view makes it more efficient to monitor and control certain devices. Samsung also says that for a smarter home experience, they will add AI characters by the end of the year.

“We will continue to introduce a variety of relevant services and features so our customers can enjoy optimal smart home experiences with a better life,” adds Seungbeom Choi.

Map View gives SmartThings users the ability to use the new 3D mapping features. To be able to make Map View reach apartments and offices, Samsung is collaborating with construction companies. Samsung also plans to create a more optimized UX for apps.

Used by powerhouses like HOK and Gensler, AXYZ’s anima 5 software is one of the fastest ways to bring dynamic 3D/4D people into a visualization. Featuring over 2,500 scanned characters, anima helps designers add high-fidelity digital humans that walk, run, laugh and move to their scenes, giving projects a realistic quality that immerses viewers in a design. With onboard tools for tailoring loops and AI crowds, there’s no better way to bring believable movement into a visual project.

“AXYZ’s state-of-the-art assets give life to projects, so they actually connect with people. Anyone that’s been in architecture for a while knows how impactful digital humans are to the design and marketing process. 4D people is the next step in our journey”, said Christian Lang, Chaos CEO.

Increasing the breadth of digital people has been a top request from customers, particularly in architecture. With the acquisition of anima, Chaos can meet the needs of its customers while setting up new ways to make high-fidelity 3D/4D human character assets more accessible than they’ve ever been. Chaos is currently planning how to integrate the software with existing products like Chaos V-Ray and Chaos Corona, whose users already use anima on a daily basis.

“When it comes to visualization, the Chaos products are unmatched. By combining forces, we can move fast and create the type of products that make designers excited to go to work. The best is yet to come!”, says Diego Gadler, CEO and founder of AXYZ design.

As architects introduce new ways to explore sustainability, biophilic urbanism and more in their designs, giving stakeholders a sense of how different people might use these spaces will only become more important.

The technology, called “Spatial Vision,” was unveiled at CES 2023 and is likely to change the way we use laptops forever.Asus’ new glasses-free 3D OLED display gives you the ability to view 3D images on your screen without the need for special glasses.

Spatial Vision will initially appear on two high-end Asus laptops and allows users to switch between 2D and 3D images at the touch of a button.

It works using advanced eye-tracking technology that creates a 3D effect for each user’s eye. This makes it ideal for watching 3D videos or activating the 3D mode of video games without having to wear bulky glasses.

One of the first laptops with this technology, the ProArt Studiobook 16 3D OLED, has a screen that can fold completely flat.

The new campaign of Samsung – “Tiger in the City” will bring a giant 3D tiger roaring to life on digital 3D displays in five of the world’s most vibrant cities – New York, London, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and Seoul. The disruptive 3D animal will burst through digital barriers to showcase how Samsung’s next smartphone lineup is set to help users own the night with new advancements.

By channeling this campaign, Samsung is also embracing its own innovative past following over a decade of refusing to play it safe and driving the mobile innovations that shaped todays’ world. The campaign is an “invitation” for the fans of Samsung to see and feel this vision up close at street level ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event on February 9.

Take a look at the video and stay tuned for more from Samsung, later this month.

Better Compositing

With added support for masks in the V-Ray Frame Buffer, users can now fine-tune their rendered images with pixel-perfect selections. All of V-Ray’s masking render elements including Cryptomatte, MultiMatte, Wirecolor and Object/Material/Render IDs are supported, helping artists quickly finalize an image without moving to another app.

Additive Dome Lights can now be rendered at the same time to help simulate multiple lighting scenarios. Direct support in Light Mix makes it easier than ever to fine-tune the results.

Free Content, Improved Materials

Chaos Cosmos, a new, render-ready 3D content collection, is now included within V-Ray 5 for 3ds Max. Perfect for interior and exterior architectural visualizations, the library includes hundreds of free high-quality 3D models and HDRI skies that can be easily inserted into any scene using V-Ray or cosmos.chaos.com.

New translucency methods have been added to the V-Ray Material. With built-in SSS and volumetric modes, it is easier than ever for artists to create realistic translucent materials such as plastic, wax and skin.

A new material override option has been added as well, helping artists preserve a scene’s original opacity, bump, refraction and self-illumination for more creative control. Convenience also extends to the Autodesk Physical Material, which is now auto-translated to V-Ray materials without the need for additional conversions.

Other Top Features Include:

• Progressive Caustics – Render reflected lighting from surfaces like glass and water are now far easier to achieve.
• Faster Global Illumination on V-Ray GPU – The V-Ray Light Cache now processes on the GPU, making it much faster to get to the first pixel.
• V-Ray Camera Lister – Easily edit all of the cameras in the scene from one interface.
• Batch Camera Rendering – Users can now export all of the cameras in their scene, making it easier for Chaos Cloud users to render any camera angle they need from a single export.
• Enhanced tyFlow Rendering – tyFlow simulations can now be rendered with V-Ray GPU and Chaos Cloud.
• Intel Open Image Denoising – Excellent for interactive rendering, Intel Open Image Denoise cleans up noise fast and on any machine.
• Viewport Upgrades – V-Ray Materials will now appear even more realistic in the 3ds Max viewport, giving important context to artists as they edit their scenes.
