Welcome to VP Land 🌐

Today’s the day - pre-orders for the Vision Pro start. While you’ll be able to watch 3D movies from Disney Plus on Tattooine, Netflix and YouTube won’t have any dedicated apps at launch.

If you missed our post earlier in the week - check out our interview with Coffeezilla about the future of virtual production on YouTube. The video is gaining traction - 13,000 views and counting (and welcome to new subscribers from the video!).

Alright, let’s jump into it!

STAGE A

More Brushes in the AI Toolbox

🎨 Runway ML just released a new update: the Multi Motion Brush. This is an expansion of their Motion Brush, introduced back in November, where you can draw on an area in your image to direct specific motion. Now you can do this multiple times on multiple different areas, expanding the possibilities and control over the AI output.

🔏 Sony, Canon, and Nikon are in talks to add some type of digital signature to their newer models to be able to verify the authenticity of photos to combat deepfakes and AI imagery.

🎤 Bill Gates has an interview breaking down the science of AI with Yejin Choi.

📆 Justine Moore created a timeline of all the AI video updates that happened in 2023.

😈 Our friends at Bad Decisions Studio have an in-depth interview with Brian Bosché, VP of Move AI.
