[Interview] Unity John Richelo CEO Meta Bus has already been realized.

Unity developers and content creators, the conference, and 'Unite' were offline at Unity headquarters in three years. Although it is not a space for accommodating a lot of people, such as the previous offline Unite event, it was performed on online and offline, but the headquarters building was crowded with developers and creators and did not come to intuition. I could check it.

John Michel, who visited the field for a long time, has been inquiring for a while since the end of the keynote, and continued the festival for all who related to Unity through meetings and various presentations. In the meantime, he worked with Resting and a joint interview with Korean media for Korean creators. Why was Unity paying attention to the Korean market so that it would give a separate place for Korean media? In addition, I was able to hear a short story from CEO and Vice President Rest yo, who is thinking about the meths he is thinking about.

■ '' meths' is a concept that has already been realized in Unity

Q. AR/VR is first mentioned as a meta bus, and now the concept is now transformed into an immersive type. I'm curious about the term this meths. Can AR/VR be part of it?

Michel CEO: Since I first talked about Meta Bus in Korea, people have been interested in much interest. However, there was a confusion about the concept, so I re-published the Meta Bus six months ago.

To say this again, Megabus believes it is the next version of the Internet. Unlike the Internet, it's always a real time. This real time is unfamiliar, but it says that the next frame, such as a game or a digital twin, can't see it without any action. There are 3D, interactive, social and persistence in it.

For example, suppose you remodel or repair the kitchen. Previously, it would only be a sample to see only as a drawing, but it would be such a pattern of seeing and determining the actual application in the meths. You can see it in an existing digital environment, or you can feel it in the same space. Another example is the real-time 3D model of the airport. In addition, I think that all areas such as clothes, games, factories, etc. will be in a new environment within the near future.

People often confuse meth uses with AR/VR. It may be AR/VR, but that's not everything, you don't have to. That is meths. Seeing American football as a meta bus doesn't play football like AR/VR. Sometimes people think that avatars are essential to meth uses, but in that environment, no players or avatars are required. So I speak broadly when I explain the concept of meths.

Q. I have not signed a business agreement on the construction of a meta factory with Hyundai recently, I wonder.

Michel CEO: Hyundai is a vision company, and its vision is similar to Unity. Sustainable development for the future was similar to the direction of the Metals we saw, and it was sympathetic to the vision of dreaming something more amazing with robots and humans. In modern times, I saw that R & D and Innovation Center could achieve development through meth uses, and I thought I should listen to the outline and support the dream when I met the CEO and Innovation Center manager.

Q. When I mentioned the Meta Bus earlier, the concept of avatar was not required, but I want to ask about this. That's why Meta's Horizon World is low in evaluation because it is not good about the avatar.

Michel CEO: Personally about Horizon World, it is made of Unity, so I am looking at Horizon World. I hope they will succeed, but the content made of Unity is not 100% successful, and I'm not a meta.

In relation to avatars, let's analyze the meta buses in three ways. As mentioned earlier, if you wear clothes in advance, you will need an avatar. But areas like stock trading don't need avatars. It may or may not be necessary when looking at the kitchen interior. If you're just looking around, you won't need it, and it's not necessary to see if it's not high in the kitchen, but the refrigerator door is open. To compare the child's height and the height of the adult, several avatars must be equipped. When you simulate the airport, you don't need to see the design, but if you create a model that predicts people's movements and traffic, you will need thousands of avatars.

Also, for example, an avatar will be a must for a game like Maple Story. And the avatar is different from what the game like a FIFA is required. I'll choose something more cute. In addition, I met a physicist who studied dust movements in Caltech, and when I see the dust movement, I don't need an avatar. But if you simulate it and see how it affects the human body, you won't need an avatar.

Even if the meth uses become commonplace and sophisticated, sometimes they don't want avatars. For example, if you are not really inevitable when you talk to your daughter, you won't want to talk to your avatar. I would like to talk about my daughter's reality. In view of such situations, avatars are not required.

Q. What level is Unity's digital human implementation? In addition, I am curious about the growth strategy of this field and the implementation plan for each period.

Vice President of Mestizo: Creating a plausible human and biological graphics is also a criterion for measuring the progress of rendering technology. Of course, this field is the most difficult field in CG, but we have always tried to solve the problem. Currently, Digital Human benchmarks can be found in the latest technology demonstration 'Enemy May'. This includes Strand-based hair solutions and digital human assets that have expanded their work in The Negative.

In addition, 'Enemy' shows additional technology innovation in 'Enemy Miss', further enhancing the graphic quality. The digital human technology package, which was first shared in The Negative, became new as all improvements to the enemy in the second quarter of 2022. Some updates have moved the skin attack system to the GPU, enabling more realistic eyes and new skin shaders with caustic agents in the iris. In addition, it introduced tension technology that implements bloodstream simulation and wrinkles.

In addition, by applying DIVA RT technology, the demo team was able to animate the face of the protagonist made of more data-centered emotions. It does not simply emphasize the existing model, but it means that the digital avatar has been properly implemented based on the actual actress's movement. DIVA RT technology enabled us to realize the movements of fidelity and facial tissue in real time than we saw before. We will not simply stop here, and we will continue to improve and improve this technology to help creators get much better. Rather than saying, Unity's digital humanity is completed, it is always getting closer to reality by improving the needs of creators.

Q. Only examples of the use of industrial sectors about meth uses are mentioned.

Michel CEO: The most common thing is personal content like VR chat. And the remodeling and fitting mentioned above will be an example, and it's not used in entertainment such as games and movies.

If you check in Airbnb with glasses in the next three or four years, it will be commercialized to receive information in the room immediately. If you take an elevator, there are some facilities on the floor and where you need to go. In addition, when the building was built, where the restaurant is and what the menu is, the features are already implemented. There are such apps in the smartphone app. But that's what you can use at any time you want.

Q. What other investments are you doing in meth uses in Unity? And many companies are investing in meth uses, but the era mentioned earlier looks far. At what point, will Meta Bus become so popular that users feel as part of life?

Michel CEO: Unity is investing in the future of meth uses in a variety of ways. There is also a department for digital twin, and in that department, it is often done to simulate future factories, clothing industries, airports, and cities in 3D. In addition, the company has also established a department called Acceleration Solutions, investing in meth uses through various investment partners. It has a future-oriented technology, and it is investing in their core technologies to implement key parts with core mega cap companies such as Samsung, as well as places without enough personnel or resources.

At first glance, the future of Meta Bus is far from at first glance, but you can show it right now. First, UFC metacast
