In what’s perhaps the closest thing to the metaverse we’ve seen, researchers from the University of Duisburg-Essen and ETH Zurich partnered with the Porsche AI team to create an AR system called TransforMR that can change moving objects into CGI renders in real-time. A proof of concept video shows cars getting turned into moving animations of pterodactyls or pumpkin carriages and people walking being edited out and replaced with skipping skeletons, all on an iPad.
