What is Latent Technology?

Latent Technology is developing advanced animation technology designed for virtual worlds and gaming. Its core innovation lies in physics-based character rigs that react dynamically to their environment in real-time. This system moves beyond traditional animation methods by allowing character movements and interactions to emerge naturally based on physical forces and environmental context, eliminating the need for pre-scripted animations or blending techniques for many interactions.

This generative physics approach allows developers to create unique and unpredictable player experiences efficiently. Interactions that would typically require extensive keyframing become emergent and immediate, significantly saving on animation costs. Furthermore, developers can influence character behavior by modifying physical parameters like weight or stiffness in real-time, leading to dynamic changes such as realistic injury responses or varied reactions to forces without altering underlying animation assets.

Features

  • Real-Time Physics-Based Animation: Characters react dynamically to the environment using physics, with movement emerging in real-time.
  • Emergent Interactions: Environmental interactions are generated automatically based on physics, eliminating the need for keyframing.
  • Dynamic Behavior Control: Modify character behavior by adjusting physics parameters (weight, stiffness, etc.) in real-time.
  • Cost Reduction: Saves animation costs by automating environment interaction animations.
  • Generative Physics System: Use emergence to create unique and unpredictable player experiences.

Use Cases

  • Creating realistic character animations in video games.
  • Developing interactive virtual worlds with dynamic character responses.
  • Reducing animation production time and costs for game developers.
  • Implementing emergent gameplay based on physics interactions.
  • Simulating realistic character reactions to forces and environmental changes.
