Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world. Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place around you),... show more

@Simulon This will be insane in real time. Imagine wearing AR glasses & seeing a virtual Godzilla stomping its way through your city, or reskinning the locals as zombies. Definitely huge potential for new media types, like custom, environmentally aware immersive stories and virtual pets

@Simulon Why is it out of sync?

Divesh Naidoo13 days ago

@Simulon The final is regenerated from the recording so retiming and some changes in the interactions occur. We can stick more closely to the original input video at the expense of realism in the final render. Perhaps we will have this as an option.

@Simulon Neanderthal also looks like he could use a drink! It hits so much harder when the real world is the platform, and the virtual worlds are layers we build on top. Extending outwards, emerging from and adding to our own physical experience.

Meet Nigel. He’s not enjoying our cause-and-effect demo. So I let him sit in the DeLorean. Still not happy. I didn’t write his lines. What he says is generated from his personality and the context of the shot. It’s an entirely new way to create: place imaginary characters in your world, record your performance, and let Simulon generate their reactions and realistically integrate them into your footage. Reality-Aware Rendering is coming to Simulon this week.

Here’s how Simulon Reality-Aware Rendering works. I placed my raptor next to the water and dropped a stone in to see how he’d respond. His 3D placement sets his starting position and scale. When the recording starts, he becomes a ghost, leaving me to shape the performance through actions, gestures and spoken instructions. Simulon uses the recorded scene to generate his behaviour and integrate him into the footage afterward. Instead of typing a prompt, spinning the slot machine and hoping for the best, you can show it, say it and perform it. Your intent, timing and spatial context are right there in the recording. It’s a much more intuitive way to create. This breakdown is generated procedurally, summarising the actual reasoning behind the result.

First look at the new Simulon. Pt 1: You can clone reality now. I photographed a vulture in a museum. Pulled it out of the display and brought it to life. You can turn any photo into a neural asset and capture it with photorealistic detail. End to end on iPhone and Android.

Here's the original recording alongside the final result. No scripted dialogue. No predefined animations. No predetermined reactions. We place characters into the world using AR and interact with them naturally, imagining they're really there. Simulon reasons about what happened and generates their performance afterward. It's not real-time, yet. But it's a glimpse into a future where intelligent digital characters can share our physical world. You perform your side of the encounter. Simulon creates the other. 2/3

Great literature is not entertaining. It is shocking. You read it and you are shaken in a way you never forget. It forces you to reorientate your worldview. To better understand who you are. Your place in the world. That is what separates great writing from everything else. Not the words. The shock.

I don’t actually mean it the way you think … what I mean is sooooo many of you are soooooo angry at your parents for what THEY DID … without you spending a second time thinking of what happened to them and oftentimes what happened to them was based on their anger and resentment and the negative impact that they got from their parents, AKA the concept of this post. Before you get super Bob down at the details , "Grandma, what did great grandma do or great grandpa do?" This is all generational. The real question is: instead of being angry at your parents, are you going to stop the pattern and put in the work and surround yourself with positivity and accountability and have the right people around you? Whether it's meditation or exercise or therapy or other things, are you going to put in the work to get to the next place so you can stop the negativity, the pessimism, the cynicism, the fear and create a new chapter in your family's world?

Let me share a long-awaited behind-the-scenes video of how Simulon works. It all starts with setting up a scene. You set the location, lighting conditions and capture the light map with a few turns. After that, you can capture the environment mesh using the Lidar scanner. That's the moment the fun begins. You can bring in your #3D models with animations and capture a video of up to 50" using the #AR preview on screen. After that is done, you send the footage to the cloud and in a couple of minutes you get back an incredible #CGI shot. And this is just the beginning. Follow Gabriele Romagnoli to see how Simulon integrates with #Blender and in a full #VFX workflow. A special thanks to Divesh Naidoo for sharing early access and for building something 🤯

WINNING THE WAR WITH PROPHECIES: HOW TO WAR WITH PROPHETIC WORDS You can enforce the manifestation of every good prophetic word in the place of prayer, and you can cancel or disallow the manifestation of every negative prophetic word in the place of prayer. The place of prayer is like a boardroom in the spirit—it is where you decide what becomes your reality and what you disallow. That is how you war with prophecy. In prayer, you allow and disallow. You give permission for the manifestation of God's promises, and you cancel what is not of Him.

Pocket cofounder akshay found PMF in one of the most unintuitive ways. When customers didn't like his recording app, he made a hardware device to do what the app does. Now he has 300,000 users. "Convenience beats intentions. So if your users have the intention to record, and you don't make it convenient enough, they will not record." "But if you actually make it convenient enough to record, and they want to record even a little bit, they'll 100% record." He explains how he figured all this out: "We actually went and asked these people, 'Why are you using the device 10x more than the app?'" "One of the users was using a different phone that he bought specifically for recording conversations. And he had a battery attached to the phone, on top." "That's kind of what Pocket ended up being. By just watching how people use these recording apps on the phone, there are a lot of limiting factors for recording." "There are people who get incoming phone calls all the time. So if you're recording something, and you get an incoming phone call, it interrupts the recording. If you take the call, your recording stops essentially." "Apart from all of these technical reasons, the real reason is actually that the people who take 10, 15 meetings a day — doctors, consultants — a patient goes out, another comes in — the client goes out, the client comes in — and there's 10-15 back-to-back meetings, they feel awkward in the first few seconds to take out their phone and start recording. They have to unlock their iPhone, set up the recording, and hope the operating system doesn't kill apps running in the background." "So people just felt that, this is much more reliable. A quick-access thing that can immediately start recording. And I don't need to feel awkward placing it on a desk. So it doesn't take attention away from the meeting, like, 'Why is this guy looking at his phone? We just met.'"

Dear Daddy Freeze, It is 2026, you are free to come out of the closet and openly support the looters of Nigeria. All your friends are doing it; it is no longer out of place. What you will not do is gaslight Nigerians to believe that the DISASTER in Aso Rock is doing anything special that has led to the fall of the Dollar. The dollar is falling globally; your Master Strategist of Hunger and Poverty has nothing to do with it.
