Dean Leitersdorf represents Himself over Zoom, then gains a hint that makes me feel that I just took psychedelic mushrooms: "Wild West, space, Roman Empire, gold, underwater." He feeds the words in the artificial intelligence model, developed by his startup Decart, which manipulates live video in real time.

“I have no idea what will happen,” says Leitersdorf with a laugh, shortly before turning into a strange, subakvatical version of Julia Caesar in Poncho.

Leitersdorf already looks a little wild - a pen falls on large hair, making acrobatics in the fingers. When we say, his image on the screen fluctuates with surrealistic ways, since the model tries to predict what every new frame should look like. Leitersdorf puts his hands on his face and transforms with more female features. His pen jumps between different colors and forms. He adds more tips that lead us to new psychedelic spheres.

Descarty video video model, Mirage Both an impressive feat of engineering and a sign of how AI can soon shake a live broadcast. Tools such as Sora Openai can cause more and more realistic videos using a text hint. Mirage now allows you to manipulate the video in real time.

On Thursday, Descartes launches Web site And the application that will allow users to create their own videos and change the clips to YouTube. The website offers several topics by default, including “Anime”, “Skylin Dubai”, “Cyberpank” and “Versailles Palace”. During our interview, LeitersDorf uploads a clip of someone who plays Fortnite And the scene turns from the familiar world of Battle Royale into a version installed under water.

Descartes technology has a great potential for games. In November 2024, the company demonstrated a game called Oasis who used a similar approach to Mirage to create a playable Miner craft-Do -like peace on the fly. Users can approach the texture, and then increase the scale again to create new playable scenes inside the game.

Manipulation of live scenes in real time is even more taxation of computing funds. Descartes wrote a low -level code to squeeze high -speed calculations from NVIDIA chips to achieve a feat. Mirage generates 20 frames per second with a resolution of 768 × 432 and a delay of 100 milliseconds per frame-rental for a decent high-quality Tiktok clip.
