Recently, OpenAI applied for a new trademark involving wearable devices such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets and glasses. This move has sparked widespread attention in the industry and may indicate OpenAI's intention to expand its presence in the hardware sector. In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the demand for wearable devices has been growing, particularly devices in the form of glasses, which are considered ideal carriers for AI technology. Tech giants like Meta, Apple, Samsung, and Google have all increased their investments in AR/VR.

Tech giants Google and Samsung have recently unveiled a new generation of mixed reality headsets and smart AI glasses. These devices not only feature significant hardware upgrades but also integrate deeply with Google's latest Gemini AI model, showcasing their ambitious goals in the mixed reality field. Both devices support Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) functionalities, but their biggest highlight is the deep application of AI. With Gemini's powerful computing capabilities, these devices can understand user intentions.

With the rapid development of virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, the demand for personalized virtual avatars has become increasingly urgent. Recently, researchers proposed a new technology called URAvatar (Universal Relightable Gaussian Codec Avatar), which allows users to easily generate high-fidelity virtual avatars by scanning with their phones. This innovative achievement not only enhances the visual effects of virtual avatars but also enables users to drive and adjust their avatars in real-time under different lighting conditions. The working principle of URAvatar is based on a complex light transport model, and it differs from previous approaches.

Tesla has posted a job opening for motion capture artists to assist in the development of the humanoid robot 'Optimus', offering a pay rate of up to $48 per hour. Applicants must meet specific criteria, including height and physical fitness requirements. The job involves wearing a VR headset, executing test routes, and recording data. Tesla has already utilized Optimus for internal battery handling and plans to launch a truly useful humanoid robot by 2025, with a target for commercial production in 2026. Musk is optimistic about the potential of Optimus, believing it will bring unlimited possibilities to the economy.

According to Mark Gurman, Apple is actively developing several wearable virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) glasses products, including a more affordable Apple Vision headset, the second generation of Apple Vision Pro, and a smart glasses model similar to Ray-Ban.

The innovative model DressCode, developed collaboratively by ShanghaiTech University, the University of Pennsylvania, Deemos Technology, and NeuDim Technology, revolutionizes traditional design methods. Users simply input a text description, and DressCode can generate exquisite 3D clothing models, supporting different materials such as wool, lace, and silk, while adding realistic lighting effects for easy preview in various scenarios. SewingGPT is the core module, based on the Transformer architecture, capable of parsing text and generating design instructions.
