@polonopedia: Most people think it is just another social media filter, but Polish software engineer Konrad Reczko demonstrated a breakthrough in real time computer graphics. Working at Software Mansion in Kraków, he developed a technique that combines artificial intelligence with realistic lighting directly in a web browser. 💻 Using TypeGPU and WebGPU, Reczko ran a monocular depth estimation model at 448 × 448 resolution in approximately 8 milliseconds on an Apple M4 Pro. By keeping AI inference, lighting calculations and rendering on the GPU, his approach avoids unnecessary data transfers and synchronization. 🚀 The demonstration allows virtual light sources to illuminate a person in a live camera feed, creating realistic shadows and depth dependent effects. This technology could benefit augmented reality, video production, streaming and browser based graphics, showcasing Polish engineering talent on the international technology scene.
