Demos
RoomPlan
RoomPlan technology allows the user to captures a room and it's defining objects in a parametric format within minutes. Capture progress is automatically displayed and easy to understand at a glance. The resulting room capture is provided as a parametric representation of the room and can optionally be exported to USD, USDA or USDZ formats. The technology is supported on any of the Apple devices (iPad and iPhone) that are equipped with LiDAR sensor.
Information Intelligence
This demo aims to illustrate the rich information extraction and understanding capabilities embedded in select Apple products that use our state of the art search and intelligence technologies to cater to user’s information needs. These features leverage deep text and image understanding capabilities coupled with powerful search technologies to surface accurate and relevant information for user’s queries.
All NeurIPS attendees are invited to stop by the Apple booth (booth number 603, located in Hall G of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center) to experience these demos in person.
