Latest Real-time Tech Demo from Square Enix for Direct X12!

At the Microsoft Build Developer Conference this week, the Square Enix staff had revealed to the public their latest technical achievements. The in-house graphics technology that runs via DirectX 12 for Windows 10 is an engine called Luminous Studio. The product of the new tech demo is called Witch Chapter 0 [Cry].

The Witch Chapter 0 [Cry] is the product of the ongoing research at Square Enix in collaboration with Nvidia and Microsoft, regarding the improvement of the "next generation technology". This refers to the videogame graphics and the processing capabilities. This technology will be incorporated to the Luminous Studio Engine. This will be used for the games, specifically Final Fantasy XV, being developed for the popular consoles like Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The features in the demo shows a familiar face and setting to Final Fantasy fans since it is quite similar to the demo released by Square Enix in 2012. The demo developed the Final Fantasy Concept called "Agni's Philosophy".

According to Hajime Tabata, Director of Final Fantasy 15 and Head of the next-generation technology research project at Square Enix had said in a statement (via Polygon), "As a part of the technical development, we created this demo using world-class, real-time CG technology with generous support from leading -edge software and hardware providers - Microsoft's Windows 10/ DirectX 12 and Nvidia's GeForce GTX. "

The advancements in graphics technology was seen through the demo presented by Square Enix. The Witch Chapter 0 [Cry] demo showed an 8k by 8k resolution texture. It also rendered 63 million polygons per scene which is 6 to 12 times more than the predecessor, ActiveX 11, could perform. The DirectX 12 was designed to deliver an industry leading performance through the widest range of possible factors and through its graphic cards.

With the development of this new technology, it will pave the way for an optimized gaming performance and trigger an even greater innovation to the gaming world. And it all starts with Square Enix developing a Final Fantasy DirectX 12 Promo.

The Lamborghini Veneno is a limited-run vehicle that will first be seen at the Geneva Auto Show in 2013. All three models were sold prior to its release. Rumor has it that this model will be powered by a 740-horsepower V-12 engine and feature a 220 mph top speed.

LOOK AT THE SPEED!

NASA's Super Hero Robot

The newest humanoid robot from NASA just might be mistaken for a superhero.

The space agency's new Valkyrie — a 6 foot 2 inch tall (1.9 meters) robot with a glowing NASA logo on its chest — bears an uncanny resemblance to Marvel's superhero Iron Man, but this space age automaton was built for work, not comic book heroics. A team of engineers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Tex., designed and built Valkyrie in just nine months, according to press reports.

The robot was developed for the DARPA Robotics Challenge taking place at the end of the month and is designed to help humans during disasters. To test its capabilities, the DARPA competition will run Valkyrie through a variety of scenarios that it might encounter in extreme situations. Valkyrie will need to drive a vehicle, clean up debris, cut through a wall and perform other tasks to show that it has the right stuff. 

"We want to get to Mars," the team leader for Valkyrie, Nicolaus Radford told IEEE Spectrum in a video about the robot. "Likely, NASA will send robots ahead of the astronauts to the planet. These robots will start preparing the way for the human explorers and when the humans arrive, the robots and the humans will work together in conjunction building habs [habitats], laying foundation and just working together in that tight relationship. Technologies such as Valkyrie are going to really lead into the type of robotic systems that will one day be the precursor missions before the astronauts go to Mars." Some team members working with Valkyrie also worked with the space agency's Robonaut, NASA officials said. Robonaut was the first humanoid robot to fly on the International Space Station, and the agency recently announced that Robonaut 2 — currently attached to a pole in the orbiting outpost — will get its space legs sometime in 2014.

While Robonaut also has a sleek look, Valkyrie seems to take it to the next level.

"We really wanted to design the appearance of this robot to be one that when you saw it you were going to be like, 'Wow, that's awesome," Radford said. "It's a 44 degree of freedom robot, very capable, very strong, completely self contained. We have a two kilowatt hour battery, lots of onboard computing."

The 2013 DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials are set to take place from Dec. 20 to 21 in Florida. The finals are scheduled for the end of 2014, with the winning team awarded a $2 million prize.
