How do the two fluids stay separate while the rocking creates that wave shape?

Camera motion with thermal cameras can often create the illusion of motion because the camera's burnt-in noise is often higher contrast than the ocean surface. Stabilize on the object to see the motion relative to the ocean of these birds from PR135

one of my fav waves of this year was the Marvel Legends Secret Wars wave. And we got to work with some great creators to come up with some cool stop motion animation. Here's some behind the scenes look at the spot. Thank you Jax Navarro

MotionGPT: Human Motion as a Foreign Language paper page: Though the advancement of pre-trained large language models unfolds, the exploration of building a unified model for language and other multi-modal data, such as motion, remains challenging and untouched so far. Fortunately, human motion displays a semantic coupling akin to human language, often perceived as a form of body language. By fusing language data with large-scale motion models, motion-language pre-training that can enhance the performance of motion-related tasks becomes feasible. Driven by this insight, we propose MotionGPT, a unified, versatile, and user-friendly motion-language model to handle multiple motion-relevant tasks. Specifically, we employ the discrete vector quantization for human motion and transfer 3D motion into motion tokens, similar to the generation process of word tokens. Building upon this "motion vocabulary", we perform language modeling on both motion and text in a unified manner, treating human motion as a specific language. Moreover, inspired by prompt learning, we pre-train MotionGPT with a mixture of motion-language data and fine-tune it on prompt-based question-and-answer tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MotionGPT achieves state-of-the-art performances on multiple motion tasks including text-driven motion generation, motion captioning, motion prediction, and motion in-between.

In this incredible demonstration from the Maritime Technical and Safety Institute in Japan, a large wave tank uses many synchronized wave-generating devices to create visible symbols and patterns on the surface of the water. Each paddle produces a small wave, but when many waves are emitted at specific timings, amplitudes, and phases, they begin to overlap. Where the wave crests reinforce one another, the water rises. Where a crest meets a trough, the motion cancels out. This is called interference, and it is one of the most fundamental principles of wave physics. By controlling the phase relationship between many individual wave sources, researchers can shape the surface of the water into temporary patterns, symbols, and directional flows. In other words, the visible image is not “drawn” onto the water. It emerges from the mathematics of waves interacting with one another. This is the same underlying principle behind acoustics, cymatics, ocean modeling, signal processing, holography, and even the way complex field patterns arise throughout nature. A single wave carries motion, but many waves, when organized in relationship, create structure. This is why water is such a powerful medium for understanding resonance. It makes invisible dynamics visible and shows us that form can emerge from rhythm, timing, frequency, and relational coherence. At a deeper level, this demonstration reveals something profound about reality itself… Patterns appear when many small movements become synchronized enough to behave as one field. The ocean, sound, light, and even the nervous system all do this, because life is vibrational in nature… Did this expand your perception?

One of the best papers that combine machine learning and video games. The neural network learns motion from raw human data. The motion in-game feels fluid and natural, and best part is you dont have to manually write motion state-machines.
