Jo Plaete, a pioneer in digital humans and chief innovation officer at Metaphysic, joins the podcast to discuss his company's groundbreaking work on the newly released film Here, now in theaters. Jo traces his journey from his early career in computer graphics and visual effects, working on films like Where the Wild Things Are and Aladdin, to creating cutting-edge AI-driven tools that enable photorealistic de-aging of actors like Tom Hanks and Robin Wright. His experience includes collaborating with Disney Research on facial reconstruction technologies and pushing the boundaries of neural network-based visual effects. Jo also explains how Metaphysic's tools provided real-time feedback on set, allowing filmmakers to see younger versions of the actors instantly. This innovation enabled directors and actors to evaluate performances live, making adjustments on the spot to achieve the most authentic and emotionally resonant portrayal. Jo reflects on the future of digital humans in cinema, emphasizing how AI and real-time feedback are reshaping storytelling while maintaining a high level of artistic control.

Vous le savez peut-être, l'acteur James Earl Jones a officiellement annoncé qu'il allait arrêter de doubler le personnage de Dark Vador. Une triste nouvelle pour de nombreux fans, mais qui n'est pas une fatalité pour autant puisque sa célèbre voix continuera de raisonner à l'écran grâce à l'intelligence artificielle. En fait, l'acteur a signé un accord pour que les archives de ses enregistrements vocaux puissent être utilisées afin d'entraîner des outils de synthèses vocales adossés à une intelligence artificielle. L'objectif est clair : pouvoir recréer la voix de Dark Vador quand il était plus jeune, afin de continuer à l'exploiter pour de nouveaux dialogues. Bien connu de l'univers de la synthèse vocale, c'est l'entreprise Respeecher qui a été retenue pour ce projet. La start-up ukrainienne a en effet déjà travaillé avec Lucasfilm et Disney notamment dans la série Le livre de Boba Fett où Luke Skywalker, joué à l'écran par Mark Hamill retrouvait sa voix de jeune jedi ; ainsi que dans a série Obi-Wan Kenobi. De son côté, l'artiste Bogdan Belyaev avait donné vie à un jeune James Earl Jones pour quelques lignes de dialogues de Dark Vador dans la série Obi-Wan Kenobi, et avait même dû précipiter la fin de son travail pour envoyer les rendus à temps alors que la Russie commençait son invasion de l'Ukraine. D'après le célèbre magazine Vanity Fair, Matthew Wood, employé de longue date de Lucasfilm, aurait même reçu quelque temps après la mise en ligne de la série, un message de la famille de James Earl Jones qui indiquait qu'elle était satisfaite du travail.

Cydni Tetro puts a lot of emphasis on family, in fact it was her family that encouraged her from a young age to go down the path that became her career. As a high school senior in STEM programs, she had the opportunity to intern as a software tester, which she says completely changed her planned career path and sent her to BYU to major in computer science. A theme of her life was always not being sure which direction to take when she got to an intersection in life or her career, so she would always keep all options open. That open-mindedness eventually led to a thrilling chapter working for Disney Research. That was the moment where she realized she'd be the architect of her own career path, building her own skill set and then deciding what to do with them.

News Disney's "Holobricks" could stack up for larger holograms | New Atlas (01:03) Scientists at Cambridge and Disney Research may be closer to making holograms “less disappointing.”They've created new “holobricks” that can stack and tile together to produce large 3D images that can be viewed from multiple angles. Holograms are three-dimensional virtual images that appear to exist within the real world instead of on a screen. Produced in multiple ways:Reflective Screens Projections onto fog Then you have the classic “Pepper's Ghost” illusion. Started in the 1860sA brightly lit figure out of the audience's sight below the stage is reflected in a pane of glass placed between the performer and the audience. To the audience, it appears as if the ghost is on stage. Old ways are low in resolution, while the new system, from Cambridge and Disney, is designed to boost the picture quality with scalable, modular holographic blocks, or holobricks as the team calls them.Each holobrick is made up of a spatial light modulator, a scanner, and coarse integrated optics. The system combines three images of the same object from slightly different angles, which creates a sense of depth.Then light is then sent through a series of lenses that separates the images, so that when it appears on the 2D display on the surface of the holobrick, but from different angles. Has a resolution of 1024 x 768, a 40-degree field of view and at a cinematic frame rate of 24 frames per second. Essentially, that means that as you walk around the screen, your view of the virtual object or scene changes with you.Additionally it is modular, allowing the size of the holograms to be increased. There is still more work to do, but the researchers say that the holobricks could open up possibilities like holographic video walls or interactive kiosks.   Obesity alters molecular architecture of liver cells; repairing structure reverses metabolic disease | Harvard News (06:23) According to Harvard researchers, cells use their molecular architecture to regulate their metabolic functions, and repairing diseased cells' architecture to a healthier state can also repair metabolism.This could have implications on reversing obesity, and reversing the damage it causes to the body.  Gökhan Hotamışlıgi, a Harvard public health professor, mentions the regulatory mechanism they discovered:“The fundamental regulatory mechanism that we discovered can be used to evaluate the susceptibility—or resistance—of individuals to a disease state like obesity, and determine what steps, such as diet, nutrients, or fasting, will reduce, eliminate, or exacerbate these states. We can imagine a whole new array of therapeutic strategies targeting molecular architecture, similar to the restoration of an ailing building or preventing its deterioration.” The study compared liver samples from healthy, lean mice with samples from obese mice with fatty liver disease.  Using machine learning & AI, along with high-resolution imaging the researchers  generated three-dimensional reconstructions of specialized structures, called organelles, inside cells. Organelles are the components of the cell.  Then compared the architecture/structure of the organelles between the lean & obese mice. ​​The images produced from this research are the most detailed visualization to date of subcellular structures while the cells are still intact in their tissue environment. Through these analyses, the team determined that obesity leads to dramatic alterations in subcellular molecular architecture, particularly in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an organelle involved in the creation and shaping of proteins and lipids. The team then partially restored the ER's structure using technologies that can repair molecules and proteins that can reshape cellular membranes to see what would happen. “The outcome was really striking—when structure is repaired, so is the cell's metabolism,” said Ana Paula Arruda, co-lead on the research. “What we are describing here is a whole new way of controlling metabolism by regulating molecular architecture, which is critical for health and disease.” Researchers Make 'Giant Leap' to Produce Affordable Renewable Hydrogen | Good News Network (11:53) An Australian company, Hysata, has invented a totally new electrolyzer to expand use of hydrogen fuel, which they say represents the first real revolution in the technology in 200 years.Electrolyzer is the device that would separate water into hydrogen gas and oxygen with electrical current In more detail, an electrolyzer consists of an anode and a cathode separated by a sponge-like membrane. H2O is sent into the anode, where its electrons are stripped and turned into electricity, powering whatever it's connected to. Positively charged protons cross through the membrane into the cathode, where oxygen is pulled into. There, the protons, reunited with their electrons post-electricity harvest, combine with the oxygen to form water and heat. The company changed the design of the electrolyzer to make the cost of pure hydrogen fuel competitive with fossil fuels.Decreasing the heat and resistance generated through separating hydrogen. In a typical electrolyzer, gas bubbles form, reducing the efficiency of the process, but with this new design, Hysata was able to eliminate the problem.Resulting in 95% efficiency, or 41.5 kWh per kilogram of hydrogen Typical electrolyzer produce 39.4 kWh of energy from 1 kg of hydrogen. Hysata aren't just scientists however, and the economics of their electrolyzer make sense. The membranes are easy to manufacture and the process can be automated at scale.   Microbes in Your Gut May Affect Personality – Could Be Associated With Mental and Physical Fatigue | SciTechDaily (16:25) Clarkson University researchers are performing research to determine if gut microbiome and metabolomic pathways in the gut could be associated with the personality traits mental energy, mental fatigue, physical energy, and physical fatigue.Gut metabolomes are small molecules, such as amino acids, enzymes, and co-factors, that are produced in the gut. There are thousands of different types of bacteria living in the gut determined by many factors, such as health status, dietary habits, and even physical activity levels. The researchers performed initial research on a small sample of young physically active adults. The preliminary findings found that there are distinct bacteria and metabolomes that are associated with each personality trait.  One bacterium was associated with three of the four personality traits, but none between all four traits. Bacteria associated with metabolism were associated with either mental or physical energy, Bacteria associated with inflammation were associated with mental or physical fatigue.  The results build on previous work that reports that mental energy, mental fatigue, physical energy and physical fatigue are four distinct biological moods. Lead researcher, Ali Boolani, talks on the findings:“These new findings support my previous work where we report that feelings of energy are associated with metabolic processes, while feelings of fatigue are associated with inflammatory processes …  Since we are still learning about the gut microbiome, we don't know whether if we try to change our personality trait, we might see a change in gut microbiome; or if we try to change our gut microbiome, we might also change our personality trait. Additionally, these findings may help explain some of the interpersonal differences that we see in response to the anti-fatiguing effects of nutritional interventions.” Next, Boolani and his team plan to duplicate the current study with samples from a much larger number of participants.    SpaceX is hosting a new fellowship on space-based surgery. It could save lives | Interesting Engineering (20:39) Performing simple tasks in space becomes difficult, so you can imagine performing surgery would be even more difficult.  In a bid to start tackling that issue head on, SpaceX has partnered with the University of Arizona and Banner Health to host the first-ever Aerospace Surgery Fellowship starting this July.All according to a press release by Banner health. The APEX fellowship will last for a year It will be the first-ever fellowship training program in the U.S. to go beyond medical oversight for astronauts, delving into the field of aerospace surgery.Aims to train future astronaut surgeons, who will travel to space with the express goal of keeping their fellow space explorers alive. The APEX Aerospace Surgery Fellowship will bring expert surgeons and physicians together in the U.S., helping them prepare to work in the commercial aerospace medical field.They will form a part of the medical teams serving upcoming missions launched by SpaceX, NASA, and other space programs. Fellows will have the opportunity to spend six months conducting research with SpaceX, the world's leading launch provider.  Nathanial Soper, executive director for general surgery at Banner, talked on the fellowship:"Individuals who train in this program will not only be qualified to support the space program personally … they will also be on the leading edge of developing the necessary tools and procedures to facilitate this exciting next phase in space exploration. I am truly excited and enthusiastic about our institution being involved in this novel undertaking." With the backing of SpaceX, which aims to reach the red planet in the 2030s, we may soon breach a new frontier with the world's first space surgery.

Last November, news from China shook the research community. Scientist, He Jiankui claimed he had edited the genomes of twin girls with the CRISPR/Cas technology. Effy Vayena, Professor of Bioethics at ETH Zurich, and Hantao Zhao, a Chinese PhD student at Disney Research and the Chair of Cognitive Science at ETH Zurich, discuss the ethical implications of this case. Does the nationality of researchers play a role in ethical views and how does global competition in science influence ethical decisions?

'Avengers: Infinity War' Box Office: A Rundown of the Records Broken 'Avengers: Infinity War' Box Office: A Rundown of the Records BrokenDisney and Marvel continue to push the superhero envelope at the box office, with Avengers: Infinity War serving up their latest victory. The mega-mashup smashed a number of records in its global debut over the weekend, less than three months after Marvel's Black Panther began its own historic run.   Disney's VR 'force jacket' sends snakes wriggling over your body It was put together by Disney Research, alongside MIT. It's essentially a jacket stuffed with airbags and sensors that can be calibrated to simulate a number of different physical experiences. Disney highlights a few: the feeling of being punched, hugged, or having snakes slither all over your body. (I saw that we doubled up on this one in the News stories, so I dropped it to the bottom of news so we can do it there and just expand/opine, or we can push it to a longer mini feature. Whatever you want to do.)   Royole Moon 3D Mobile Theater Review When you wear glasses like this, you are presented with the equivalent of sitting relatively close to a large projection screen, with your peripheral vision essentially filled by the image. Royole suggests that the Moon provides the equal of an 800-inch curved screen (about 66 feet) viewed from about an equal distance away. That's close to standard IMAX territory. The experience is akin to watching my 92-inch projection screen from a fairly tight 10 feet away, if not closer. In other words, the same highly immersive quality we attribute to the front projection/cinema experience is apparent in spades here and is made all the more so by the addition of some good-quality earphones.

Disney Research teamed with MIT to build a bizarre virtual-reality "force jacket" that can simulate physical sensations. Including creepy ones. Combine that with the Royole Moon, a virtual 800-inch curved movie screen (about 66 feet) you can strap to your head and home theater just got a lot weirder.
