OPPO Ray Tracing
OPPO announced the launch of new open-source ray tracing technology in its Physray Engine 1.0 at SIGGRAPH 2022. This enables a new generation of visual experiences with global partners.
Meanwhile, the world’s first mobile, real-time ray tracing system application by OPPO, the ColorOS Ray Tracing 3D Wallpaper will receive an upgrade that OPPO users can download through its App Store.
The company will demonstrate its latest technology progress in ray tracing with the Physray Engine 2.0. It now integrates more advanced ray tracing capabilities like OPPO-exclusive ray tracing effects, a global rendering pipeline, and path tracing.
The company showcased War Zone at the event as well as an animation demonstrating full path tracing capabilities on mobile.
OPPO Heterogeneous Computing System
OPPO has been investing in heterogenous computing technology to explore its software applications using different processing cores. The company’s heterogenous computing technology is designed for performance and power optimization, helping developers solve application performance problems, and develop programs that run faster and efficiently.
The company showcased the latest gaming demos that run on its heterogeneous computing system. It migrates all 2D rendering from the GPU to the DSP to help reduce power consumption and optimize system load.
The company also introduced its self-developed lightweight and efficient inference framework and demonstrate a video conversion tool based on the technology.
OPPO Digital Human
The OPPO Digital Human is its self-developed hyper-realistic digital human technology. It provides a realistic and unique interactive experience thanks to its lifelike appearance and personality built on AI capabilities. Among these include semantic recognition, feature recognition, voice synthesis, lip syncing, and dynamic expressions.
The Digital Human was designed to continually improve its intelligence through AI training that will allow it to one day undertake roles currently only performed by humans like customer service roles.
OPPO AR Glass 2021
Lastly, is the OPPO AR Glass 2021 which was first introduced at OPPO INNO Day 2020. The glasses concept product is the company’s second AR glass with a split design. It incorporates a unique Birdbath optical solution increasing contrast by 53%, brightness uniformity by 98%, and pixels per degree by 40% compared to its predecessor.
The new AR Glass offers the industry’s first end-to-end AR language translation feature powered by a range of patented vision technologies. It supports translations between languages including Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
