With AI onboard
Nvidia has announced a new videoconferencing platform for developers named Nvidia Maxine that it claims can fix some of the most common problems in video calls.
Maxine will process video calls in the cloud using Nvidia’s GPUs and boost call quality in a number of ways with the help of artificial intelligence. Using AI, Maxine can realign callers’ faces and gazes so that they’re always looking directly at their camera, reduce the bandwidth requirement for video “down to one-tenth of the requirements of the H.264 streaming video compression standard” by only transmitting “key facial points,” and upscale the resolution of videos. Other features available in Maxine include face re-lighting, real-time translation and transcription, and animated avatars.
While this might warm the hearts of Nvidia fans, a lot of these features are not new. Video compression and real-time transcription are common enough, and Microsoft and even Apple have introduced gaze-alignment in the Surface Pro X and FaceTime to ensure people keep eye contact during video calls.
