SIGGRAPH Viveverse Interview

At SIGGRAPH Denver, I had the privilege of interviewing (my first solo interview!) Joseph Lin, General Manager at VIVERSE, as we explored HTC Vive's latest innovations. We delved into their groundbreaking Polygon Streaming technology, which allows seamless collaboration on high-poly 3D assets across various platforms, from VR headsets to smartphones, all while maintaining detailed visuals at low latency. Joseph also introduced NVIDIA’s Audio2Face™ GenAI, integrated into the VIVERSE spatial collaboration platform, enhancing character animation for more authentic interactions in the metaverse. The discussion highlighted VIVERSE’s impressive technological advancements, including an 8x decrease in load time, a 2x increase in FPS, and an 81% reduction in project size—marking a significant leap forward in virtual collaboration and immersive experiences.
