The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan’s largest and one of the world’s leading high-tech applied research institutions, announced the introduction of AI-incorporating display and entertainment technologies along with robotics innovations at its CES 2024 booth 9255, North Hall, LVCC, and on its event website.
ITRI’s AI display and entertainment innovations exhibited include the AR Interactive Vehicle Display, a transparent display for sightseeing passengers in a moving vehicle to view and interact with augmented reality (AR) content regarding their surrounding attractions; the Hyper-Realistic 3D Interactive Display, delivering 3D animations and live broadcasts with a digital avatar; and PetPet Cam, the world’s first Gen AI pet camera that accurately captures our furry friends’ cute moments and generates mashups for personal cherishing or easy sharing.
The AI robotics innovations ITRI presents at CES are the Detachable Joint Robot System, a highly flexible robot joint module that allows rapid assembly into a plug-and-play robotic arm with customizable axes, and RoboTwin: Metaverse Smart Factory Simulation Platform for creating a realistic virtual reality (VR) simulation of a manufacturing factory.

The AR Interactive Vehicle Display brings AR to sightseeing
The AR Interactive Vehicle Display allows passengers in a moving vehicle to view and interact with AR content regarding their surrounding attractions. When passengers spot a site of interest, the location name is presented in real time, following their line of sight. A simple touch on the screen provides detailed information, such as attraction features, local history, and geography. This versatile technology can also be applied to buses, light rail systems, cable cars, cruise ships, and more.
This technology has expanded its reach through collaboration with leading display solution provider AUO on a ferry operating in the Port of Kaohsiung. AUO has taken the infotainment concept from the water to the road, transforming it into the Interactive Transparent Window. This innovation won a CES 2024 Best of Innovation Honoree, showcasing ITRI’s commitment to empowering Taiwanese companies on the global stage.
The Hyper-Realistic 3D Interactive Display interacts with your avatar
The Hyper-Realistic 3D Interactive Display is the world’s first interactive system that can interact with your digital avatar and deliver 3D animations and live broadcasts. Powered by generative AI (Gen AI), the system can carry out real-time image processing, including 3D models, image matting, expression, motion generation, single 2D to 3D imaging, and 3D virtual-sense fusion, making it ideal for creative advertising and marketing campaigns.
Key features include:
- Gen AI 2D to 3D imaging: Using advanced AI technology, the system swiftly converts 2D images into an intricate avatar in 3D.
- Smart virtual-real 3D image fusion: The avatar appears 3D to the naked eye and can maintain eye contact with viewers from various angles.
- AI expression and motion generation: Continuous expressions of the avatar can be synthesized from a single image and voice. Its movements are also lifelike and accurate because of the automatic skeleton binding technology.
