In the Matrix, Murphy brought two pills to Niu, one red and one blue. Red pills can allow Nio to flee the world in which she lives, to the world of virtual simulation; blue pills keep the existing life. This movie released by Warner Bros. in 1999 once led people to the discussion of "What is real." Even today, we don't seem to have really got the answer. But the rise of artificial intelligence and VR has given rise to new interpretations of movies.
The "Escape" in The Matrix Empire
On January 14th, John Gaeta, who served as the visual effects director of "The Matrix", asked the audience at the geek park GIF 2017 event. "Do you choose red pills, or blue?" Most people Like Niño in the play, he chose red, but he is more willing to choose the color between the two - purple.
Gaeta introduced that the film mainly explains some concepts related to "escapism." Every day, we always want to pull away from the real world, enter the reading arts, theaters, cinemas, and then enter into an immersive entertainment. Of course, we also need to live in the present moment. We hope that we can have a little time to allow our thoughts to break away from reality.
Although the story in the film happened a hundred years ago, it is now possible to use technology to trace back and simulate, to enter into an illusion through imagination, to reach another place, which is in fact consistent with the idea of ​​escapism to be achieved. He believes that cognition is the medium for the next round. It can make you believe what you see and think of. In virtual reality, we will find that our hearts can easily feel. For them as content designers, what they want to explore is how to create moments to get everyone into such a state that they are temporarily separated from the real world.
About ILMxLab Laboratory
John Gaeta is currently the executive creative director of Lucasfilm & Industrial Light & Magic, which is famous for the "Star Wars" series of movies. The latest series of "Star Wars Outbreak: Grand Theft One" is also in the country soon. In order to explore new content formats, they also set up the ILMxLab laboratory.
According to Gaeta, this lab has two parts. The first is the lab. It is about the incubation of the new platform. The goal is to provide a content, a story form, and a way to achieve mixed reality, virtual reality, theme parks and entertainment. . The lab mainly produces different forms of content and takes some methods to create and create an interactive environment. The other part focuses on the development, introduction and release of new forms of entertainment.
At the event of the day, Gaeta played for the first time the VR video trailer being produced. He believes that VR is a new medium and will continue to exist, but nothing will replace cinemas or read books. In his view, the current VR content story still lacks originality, which is also where they are interested. They also want to be able to build such a place to create different VR stories. This is totally different from the 360-degree video. He specifically emphasizes "Explore," which may also be the place where VR movies are ultimately to be realized.
Cooperation with Magic Leap started early
In fact, as early as 2015, they had produced three projects based on "Star Wars," which were holographic "caves," iPad augmented reality, and Oculus Rift. In the holographic "cave" project, they used two big screens that were 90 degrees apart to create a holographic platform. After wearing 3D glasses, they could see the three-dimensional figures produced by CG.
A year later, they cooperated with Magic Leap to allow characters in the Star Wars to walk in their own living room. In the video Star Wars, the real robot C-3PO, “Can you speak to you? We regret to report you because of the unexpected situation, we were not able to deal with Captain Han Solo’s debt and Barta reached agreement. At the same time, the R2-D2 robot walked to the table in the room and displayed a hologram on the table. For this video, they have repeatedly stressed that it is not special effects production.
At this event, he also talked about the cooperation with Magic Leap. The two sides began some internal tests as early as two years ago and announced a live broadcast of cooperation projects last year. Both sides conducted some very basic research work, such as the interaction and influence of space and objects within the house and the content. This is very complicated, but this is where Gaeta is interested. Gaeta said that there were many topics of interest at that time. They wanted to understand how the interior of the room had something to do with people and how it was linked to the outside world. For example, in the theme park, how are the links between different objects.
More patience
VR or MR is not an option for Gaeta. It is more like a matter of time. Now they have to combine the two to form a technology. Returning to Gaeta's original question about red pills and blue pills, he wanted to combine the two into one. In his opinion, it may take 10 or more years. In the future, people will create an algorithm to determine the proportion of immersive enjoyment and experience. The extent and extent of immersion are determined based on what they want and what kind of experience they want.
So, what he thinks is very cool and very interesting is, "We can build this kind of experience. You can walk into different places and let people constantly or slowly immerse in it. This strange feeling will make Putting yourself in the scene you want is completely different from the actual environment."
In an interview after the meeting, Xiao Bian asked, what is the cooperation between ILMxLab and Magic Leap? Is it possible to present a complete VR or MR work to the public in 2017? Gaeta said that Magic Leap is using it. The technology is very complicated and we need enough patience. He did not disclose the publication time of the work, but said that the production of VR content and MR content is also very different. This also requires us to have enough patience.
