This page compares images rendered in Arnold using spectral rendering and different sets of colourspace primaries: Rec.709, Rec.2020, ACES and DCI-P3. The SPD data for the GretagMacbeth Color Checker are the measurements of Noburu Ohta, taken from Mansencal, Mauderer and Parsons (2014)ย colour-science.org.
Most software around us today are decent at accurately displaying colors. Processing of colors is another story unfortunately, and is often done badly.
To understand what the problem is, letโs start with an example of three ways of blending green and magenta:
Perceptual blendย โ A smooth transition using a model designed to mimic human perception of color. The blending is done so that the perceived brightness and color varies smoothly and evenly.
Linear blendย โ A model for blending color based on how light behaves physically. This type of blending can occur in many ways naturally, for example when colors are blended together by focus blur in a camera or when viewing a pattern of two colors at a distance.
sRGB blendย โ This is how colors would normally be blended in computer software, using sRGB to represent the colors.ย
Letโs look at some more examples of blending of colors, to see how these problems surface more practically. The examples use strong colors since then the differences are more pronounced. This is using the same three ways of blending colors as the first example.
Instead of making it as easy as possible to work with color, most software make it unnecessarily hard, by doing image processing with representations not designed for it. Approximating the physical behavior of light with linear RGB models is one easy thing to do, but more work is needed to create image representations tailored for image processing and human perception.
Unlike previous methods like Gaussian Splatting, EVER leverages ellipsoids instead of Gaussians and uses Ray Tracing instead of Rasterization. This shift eliminates artifacts like popping and blending inconsistencies, offering sharper and more accurate renderings.

Hyperscape technology allows us to scan spaces with just a phone and create photorealistic replicas of the physical world with high fidelity. You can experience these digital replicas on the Quest 3 or on the just announced Quest 3S.

This level of photorealism will enable a new way to be together, where spaces look, sound, and feel like you are physically there.

Currently not available, but in the future, it will offer a new way to create worlds in Horizon and will be the easiest way to bring physical spaces to the digital world. Creators can capture physical environments on their mobile device and invite friends, fans, or customers to visit and engage in the digital replicas.

Using Gaussian Splatting, a 3D modeling technique that renders fine details with high accuracy and efficiency, we process the model input data in the cloud and render the created model through cloud rendering and streaming on Quest 3 and the just announced Quest 3S.

If you are in the US and you have a Meta Quest 3 or 3S you can try it out here:
The magazine had repeatedly publishedย articlesย whose authors could not be found online outside the Sports Illustrated website.
Duringย the course ofย Futurismโsย reporting,ย someย of the allegedย Sports Illustratedย writers mysteriously vanished from theย publicationโsย website โ and theirย articlesย began appearing under the names of different authors who similarly didnโtย appear toย exist online and whose likenesses were also being sold on AI headshot marketplaces.
Following the publication of the report, a spokesperson for The Arena Group โ which has operated and licensed Sports Illustrated since 2019 โ told CNN that theย deletedย product reviewย articlesย had been created byย a third-party company, AdVon Commerce.
