Seeing, Learning, Moving

Simulation of Seeing, Learning, Moving programme

Discover how artificial intelligence can transform video imagery into a simulated 3D model.

Through machine learning computers can now transfer video footage into 3D simulations using the same techniques our brains and eyes do. This ground-breaking image translation technology, developed by Professor Adrian Hilton and his team at the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (University of Surrey), has taught computers to see the things we see. 

The technology not only allows for the incredible motion capture techniques used by Andy Serkis’s Imaginarium Productions and the gaming industry, but also helps computers to learn how to differentiate cancerous cells from healthy ones.

This event will allow you to control and try this cutting-edge technology, and you may even get the chance to teach a robot how to dance.

Drop-in activities from 2pm

Free, ticketed talk from 7.30pm

This event is presented in partnership with the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy for science.

Barbican Meets: Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg

Could artificial intelligence and technology help us to bring back the scents of extinct plants? We meet artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg to hear about her project 'Resurrecting the Sublime', featured in 'AI: More than Human'.

Listen: AI music

Can a computer create its own score? Will bots replace DJs? We open our ears to music that is using artificial intelligence to enhance, shape or inspire their output.
