Olimpia (2024) ‘Olimpia’ is a short film inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s celebrated short-story ‘Der Sandmann’ (c.1816-17) – re-imagined from the point of view of Olimpia, the automaton that becomes the love-object of the protagonist....
With the ongoing improvement in AI and machine learning models, as well as adaptive, programmable workflows in environments like Python/Jupyter, ComfyUI, Blender and Unreal Engine, it is a productive time to look at new...
These mountains have always been a special place for me – one of my existential places in the world. They’re not especially high, nor extensive, but they are ancient and, as far as I...
This page will host my experiments with Gaussian-splatting pipelines. I finally found some time to get round to setting up the environment – pretty straight-forward stuff – and a lot of emergent integrations that...
You can visit Planet Plop here. It’s just a sketch at this stage and will evolve over time. Music and songs are created in collaboration with my friend Glenn Rogers. From my perspective, I’m...
It’s exciting times for working with Large Language models for computer programming – especially for generalists like me who work across a range of platforms, languages and task-spaces that are often not very conversant...
Playable Earth :: ANAT Bespoke Disrupting the status quo of Earth Observation Visualisation through immersion and interaction. Playable Earth is an ANAT Bespoke Residency in partnership with Swinburne University. The project aims to explore novel ways...
Ghost Halls is an experimental dream-horror movie by Peter Morse (Vision+Text) and Glenn Rogers (Music), using a combination of AI systems (Stable Diffusion, GPT-3, Replica Studio, Audio2Face), Unreal Engine and digital composition. This is...
The release of NVIDIA’s Instant NeRF is a fantastic opportunity to explore the technology’s applications for cultural heritage visualization. There is, of course, a lot of hype about it and its utility for ‘ushering...
One of the challenges of creating ‘beliveable’ Metahumans for VMI has been striking a fine balance between creating CG surrogates for our scientists – that they are more-or-less happy with – and avoiding stereotypes...
Part of the brief we developed for our Virtual Macquarie Island project involves the deployment of in-world avatars of the scientists we interviewed. We’ve been very fortunate to interview nine specialists with many decades...
An old iPhone recording (2016) of a scam telephone call, using a synthesized voice, recorded on an old answering machine (2000) that uses an even older synthetic voice, meets NVIDIA’s Audio2Face (2021) – ‘an...
What started off as a little zero-budget technical experiment in my spare time inadvertently turned into a bit of an epic. Anyway, I started getting my head around some technical things I wanted to...
Cryptomea is a project that both creates new work and embeds it in a new digital market. Now that technology is mature enough, a previously impossible vision can be realised.
The AAE Digital Ghosts project develops and implements novel techniques in Deep Learning (DL) in application to Antarctic Cultural Heritage. Recent developments in DL facilitate the automated colourisation and extraction (or recreation) of three-dimensional data...
The OSIRIS_REx spacecraft has arrived at Asteroid Bennu, on an exciting sample-return mission. Some of the earliest publicly-available photographs are of sufficient resolution to enable space-enthusiasts like me to have a crack at...
USE the https version of this page: https://www.petermorse.com.au/2016/12/stereoscopic-panoramas-for-vr/ Online VR technologies have come a long way recently, so I’m finally getting around to embedding some 360º stereoscopic and monoscopic panoramas that I shot during several...
A few experiments (more soon) with Oculus Rift: EXPERIMENT 1: An afternoon and evening faffing around with the Oculus Rift DK1 and Unity 3D, getting a first very rough sketch of my ‘Mawson’s Huts...
One of my great passions, having been involved in building a base in Antarctica – at Cape Dension, Commonwealth Bay – is sustainable environmentally-friendly architecture. The great lesson I learnt in this process is...
In December 2011 the Syn[a] Group, in concert with AARnet and the TSO, ran a 5 day workshop at the University of Tasmania Conservatorium of Music, where we visualised the biometric data of musical...
